Galaxy Black- Luxury Ceramic Coffee Set

The Story of the Colour

Inspired by the revered black glazes of Song dynasty Jian Zhan, this Black Dragon Cup distills the quiet depth of tenmoku into a modern, contemplative black. Its surface recalls the mirror-like darkness once favoured by scholars and emperors — a colour that carries both stillness and intensity, refined for contemporary living.

Design & Cultural References

The handle and saucer draw inspiration from the first Chinese dragon — the Jade Dragon of the Hongshan Culture, a Neolithic carving from 5,000 to 6,000 years ago. Recognised as one of the earliest dragon motifs in Chinese civilization, it embodies protection, vitality, and an enduring promise of renewal.

The cup body references the traditional Luohan cup, long used in monasteries and literati culture for its stable silhouette and balanced proportions — functional, grounded, and quietly humble.

By weaving history and Chinese aesthetics into a modern form, this design brings tradition into everyday life — allowing cultural heritage to accompany daily rituals and offer a gentle, steady sense of energy.

The Making & Practicality

We consciously source our materials from trusted regions in China, using Dehua porcelain, a fine white porcelain celebrated for its clarity, purity, and long-standing ceramic heritage. Fired at high temperatures, the cup achieves refined density and lasting durability while preserving an elegant finish. It is pleasantly weighted, comfortable to hold, and fully microwave- and dishwasher-safe — crafted to support modern living with quiet ease.

With a 280ml capacity, it adapts naturally to matcha, cappuccino, tea, or any drink you prefer.
