2026 Summer Porcelain Selection | Heinrich Wang White Porcelain Teaware, Vases & Living Objects | NewChi

Morning light, the sea, the wind — and the quiet of late summer rediscovered.

Twelve pieces selected for summer tea gatherings, display, and everyday living, organized around four seasonal landscapes, inviting you to find your own rhythm of summer.

Radiant Heat

Toward the light, toward life at its fullest.

Summer light is more than heat — it is the force that makes things grow. A selection of white porcelain pieces suited to summer tea gatherings and daily life.

Chasing the Waves

What the sea teaches us is both abandon and embrace.

The sea moves ever forward, yet holds all things within it. From the rhythm of waves to the stillness of water, these works portray not only the summer sea, but a wider landscape within.

Rising Wind

Unseen, yet it changes everything.

The wind has no form, yet it moves the leaves and carries the scent of tea. These pieces trace its passing — light, fluid, and full of motion.

All Rivers to the Sea

What remains at summer's end is not the heat, but a stillness rediscovered within. From porcelain boxes to home decor, this is the quiet left behind by summer.

Seasonal Notes | Summer

Heinrich Wang observes nature not merely to depict it, but to feel its rhythm — especially in the height of summer.

To him, summer is not a single season, but a sequence of bodily memories: the fullness of sunrise, the abandon of waves at midday, the lightness of an evening breeze, and the stillness rediscovered when the day finally lets go.

These four rhythms became twelve works. The twelve pieces are arranged not by form, but by these four sensations of summer — each in dialogue with the others, inviting everyone to find their own rhythm within.

These objects are not illustrations of summer. They are vessels for what summer makes us feel — an invitation to experience it again, in everyday life.

FAQs

Why is white porcelain especially suited to summer?

Summer calls for objects that feel clean, open, and light-filled. White porcelain naturally sets off the color of tea, fruit, desserts, and flowers, lending an airy quality to any space. Heinrich Wang reinterprets the rhythm of nature through contemporary white porcelain, so each piece becomes not just a vessel, but a companion to summer life.
How was the 2026 Summer Selection curated?

This year's selection is not organized by form or function, but by four seasonal landscapes — Radiant Heat, Chasing the Waves, Rising Wind, and All Rivers to the Sea. Twelve representative works were chosen from across Heinrich Wang's body of work, each intended to accompany a different rhythm of life.
Which pieces are well suited to tea, including cold-brewed tea?

Summer tea settings call for clean lines and generous white space. The teapots, cups, and tea sets in this selection — whether for hot or cold-brewed tea — bring out the color and depth of the tea itself, and pair well with summer fruit and light bites.

NewChi white porcelain is fired at 1300°C, producing a dense glaze that resists absorbing odors — ideal for cold-brewed tea, oolong, oriental beauty, and other summer favorites.
Is the Summer Selection suitable for gift-giving?

Yes. The selection spans teaware, vases, sculptural pieces, and home objects — suited to housewarmings, birthdays, Father's Day, and corporate gifting. Beyond function, each piece is intended to carry a sense of care into someone's daily life.

Choose by sentiment: Rising Sun's radiant fullness suits new beginnings — an opening, a promotion, a new home. Wind Trace's quiet elegance suits a refined elder or an important client. Vast Embrace, with its whale form combining incense and storage, carries a wish of all-embracing generosity. In Bloom, from the limited Forbidden City collaboration series (188 pieces), is also a distinguished choice for collectors.
Why were four landscapes chosen as the curatorial theme, and how does each piece represent a different facet of summer?

To Heinrich Wang, nature is not something to be copied, but a source of inspiration. Summer is not simply heat — it is a rhythm composed of light, sea, wind, and stillness. The selection is organized around four such landscapes — Radiant Heat, Chasing the Waves, Rising Wind, and All Rivers to the Sea — each corresponding to a different feeling. Every piece does more than depict a landscape; it carries the feeling that landscape evokes. Heinrich Wang translates the rhythm, light, and emotion of nature into form, hoping each piece accompanies not just a season, but every moment of daily life — and that each reader finds the summer that resonates with them.
