Cup Meets Plate｜Inspired by Latticed Windows and Mutual Dependence

The cup’s solid form and the handle’s open space echo the interplay of substance and void in traditional window lattice design. The pointed base of the cup must rest precisely in the hollow of the plate—one cannot stand without the other, symbolizing inseparability.
Suspended Firing with Tapered Base｜A Technical Leap in Porcelain

Crafted using suspended firing, the pointed base requires perfect gravity control and kiln balance. This technique pushes the boundaries of conventional porcelain shaping.
Asymmetrical Teapot with Flat Handles｜Modern Eastern Geometry

The teapot (available by inquiry) features clean asymmetrical lines and wide flat handles. During 1300°C firing, these forms risk warping, requiring mastery over shrinkage and symmetry.
Precision Lid Fit｜Unified Form at High Temperatures

The lid and teapot must shrink evenly—at around 15%—during firing to achieve a perfect seal. This level of precision is rare and difficult to master in porcelain.
Philosophy of Placement｜Respecting the Object and Its Role

The cup cannot stand alone without its plate, and the plate exists to support the cup. This design reminds us to respect the function of each object, and to return them to their rightful place.

Like rhythm to a song or heartbeat to a warrior’s step.

Calmly pacing, building a quiet intensity.

Harmonious and sweet, warmly entangled.

Two as one, embracing stillness and passion.

—Heinrich Wang

Design feature

The Silhouette is the second creation in the NewChi Porcelain collection, marking a breakthrough in porcelain design and production. Inspired by the philosophical idea of “form and shadow,” it reflects the interdependence of substance and emptiness, stillness and movement.

The set’s sharply tapered cup base must rest in the matching indentation of the plate, forming a symbolic union of function and metaphor. The cup and plate cannot stand alone—one defines the meaning of the other.

Through advanced suspended firing techniques, asymmetric lines, and carefully calibrated tolerances at high temperatures, this work redefines the technical limits of modern porcelain. It’s equally suited for tea or coffee, and designed to stand proudly in both daily rituals and curated interior displays.

Teapot, creamer (which doubles as a fair cup), and sugar jar are also available from this series. Please contact us for inquiries.
