Immortal Peach Copper-rim Plate

Immortal Peach with Purple Copper Rim

A rare Dehua porcelain dish from the late Qing Dynasty, hand-painted with the auspicious Immortal Peach motif—a symbol of longevity and blessing in Chinese culture. This historical piece carries the quiet elegance of old kilns, reinterpreted through a contemporary intervention: a purple copper Kou rim, carefully added by Kevin using a traditional no-glue metal-wrapping technique.

The result is not restoration for disguise, but continuation—where time, material, and intent meet with restraint.

Hand-painted longevity. Each brushstroke from the late Qing Dynasty carries a quiet blessing of 'Immortal Peaches,' inviting peace to your tea table.

How It Feels

Quietly Precious, Balanced, and Versatile

• Smooth, aged porcelain with a soft, calm surface
• Subtle weight that feels grounded in the hand
• The copper rim adds gentle contrast without overpowering the porcelain
• Equally at home in daily tea moments or contemplative display

With a diameter of approximately 11.3 cm and a height of 2 cm, it sits naturally on the table—never loud, never ornamental for its own sake.

Why It’s Different

Heritage Reimagined, Not Replaced

• Late Qing Dynasty Dehua porcelain, fired with techniques no longer replicated
• Hand-painted Immortal Peach motif, symbolizing longevity and quiet blessing
• Purple copper Kou rim:
  
• Applied without glue
• Reinforces the edge while preserving the original form
• Introduces a contemporary layer of time and intention
  

This is not a replica, nor a purely antique object—it is a dialogue across centuries.

The rim holds the porcelain like a vow. No adhesives, just the precise tension of hand-wrapped copper protecting a century-old soul.

Built for Daily Use

• Suitable as Hu Cheng (pot support), cup saucer, or dessert plate
• Stable form for real tea sessions
• Copper rim protects the edge during handling
• Designed to be used, not locked away
