Bright Moon – Transformable Porcelain Tea Cup

Complete and luminous,

The clouds of blessing gather gently

around the fullness of harmony.

— Heinrich Wang 

Bright Moon is a poetic and transformable porcelain object—a gourd-shaped vessel that opens to reveal a teacup and saucer. Seamlessly blending symbolism and function, this piece invites quiet joy, inspired by the moon’s serenity and the gourd’s fullness.

In traditional culture, the gourd (hulu) symbolizes abundance, health, and good fortune. When closed, Bright Moon appears as a pure white gourd—an object of blessings. When opened and inverted, it transforms into a teacup nestled upon its matching saucer. The cup’s handle gracefully arcs like a full moon resting on clouds, elevating the tea-drinking ritual into a moment of contemplation and light.

✦ Design Highlights
