Details & Description

1. Small-batch handmade high-fired ceramic cup with original Auspice motif and hand-mixed mineral glazes.
2. Yin-yang double-carving + glaze-fill craft brings the pattern to life with real depth, not just surface painting.
3. For Luck & New Beginnings - a daily ritual cup to welcome good signs, fresh starts, and better momentum.

Small-batch handmade Longquan celadon ceramic cup made in China and shipped from China, featuring Auspice floral motifs carved with a yin-yang double-carving and glaze-fill method, then high-fired for a durable, heat-resistant finish.

Behind the Product

Auspice is FolkMake's way to say good signs, good starts - a lucky motif you can actually use every day. This cup is handcrafted using the Longquan celadon traditional firing technique, a heritage craft recognized in 2006 as a national intangible cultural heritage practice and later listed as human intangible cultural heritage in 2009. Ceramic expert Li Bin builds the beauty from the inside out: every pattern is his original design, carved by hand with a yin-yang double-carving method and filled with glaze, so the Auspice flowers appear with depth rather than surface painting.

For Luck & New Beginnings, it is a daily reset in your hands. Fill it, sip, and start again - a simple ritual that invites good momentum, steadier routines, and a brighter next chapter.

Materials & Size

Cup - Handmade ceramic, high-fired; approx 400cc (13.5 fl oz); height 13.2cm (5.2 in); rim diameter 8.9cm (3.5 in); foot ring diameter 6cm (2.4 in)

Glazes - Wood ash glaze (brown), Meiziqing celadon glaze (green); both formulated by Li Bin from traditional mineral glaze materials

Craft Process & Handmade Character

Craft Process: The cup is shaped by hand, then refined and carved with a yin-yang double-carving method before the grooves are filled with glaze to form the Auspice motif. Li Bin mixes his own glazes from traditional mineral glaze materials, including a wood ash glaze for warm brown tones and a Meiziqing celadon glaze for soft green. Each piece is high-fired at about 1280-1300C, which vitrifies the ceramic and results in a durable, heat-resistant, food-safe finish.

Handmade Character: Handmade ceramics are never identical. Expect small millimeter-level variations in size, plus natural differences in glaze flow, color depth, and motif clarity from piece to piece. Measurements are for reference only and should not be judged by machine-made standards.

Craft Artist & Origin

Li Bin

Li Bin is a ceramic firing expert and an inheritor of the intangible cultural heritage craft Longquan celadon traditional firing technique. He insists on original creation, designing each motif and formulating his own glazes from traditional mineral glaze materials to ensure both safety and a distinctive finish.

    The FolkMake Way

     

    Each FolkMake piece is created with intention — not only in how it looks, but in the feeling, story, and presence it brings to a space or to the person receiving it. Whether quiet or expressive, practical or symbolic, every piece is designed to feel distinctive, meaningful, and worth keeping.

    We care about hand-built form, careful finishing, and the kind of detail that only comes from time and attention. Every piece is judged for precision, balance, and how it feels in real life — so the craftsmanship is something you can actually see and feel.

    Every FolkMake piece is finished one by one, so slight variations in color, texture, or finish are part of what makes it real. The overall design stays true, but each one carries its own small differences — a quiet sign it was made by hand, not pulled from factory stock.

    FAQ

    No. Duties, taxes, and standard worldwide shipping are covered by FolkMake and already included in the price. The price you see is the final delivered price, and you will not need to pay extra customs, tax, or delivery fees when your order arrives.

    Because Auspice is not just about symbolism. It is real handmade Longquan celadon, created through a recognized heritage firing tradition and made by Li Bin, a ceramic firing expert and inheritor of this craft. He shapes the form, creates the original motifs, and formulates the mineral glazes himself, so what you get is not a generic lucky cup, but a handmade ceramic piece with real craft authority behind it.

    They have real carved depth. We use a yin-yang double-carving and glaze-fill method, so the motifs sit in the clay with texture you can see and feel, instead of looking like flat surface decoration. That is a big part of why Auspice feels more substantial, more collectible, and more gift-worthy in person.

    They are made for both, and that is exactly the value. Each piece is high-fired to create a durable, heat-resistant, food-safe finish, so these are cups you can actually use for tea, coffee, or a daily pause. What makes them stronger than an ordinary daily cup is that the blessing is built into something useful, not separated from it.

    Choose by format and intention. Ritual Cup is the largest single-cup option and suits someone who wants one more substantial everyday cup. Firstlight Set is the most refined cup-and-saucer choice. Daybreak Cup is the lighter, smaller option and also works well when you want a pair. Fortune Forward Cup is the best fit if you want an abundance-themed piece with size flexibility. Endless Blessing Pair is the strongest ready-to-gift option when you want two cups meant to be shared, kept as a pair, or given with relationship meaning already built in.

    They are strong adult gifts because they feel thoughtful without feeling childish or empty. You are giving a handmade cup with real heritage craft behind it, real daily use, and a blessing that feels clear but still grown-up - whether that is a fresh start, abundance, continuity, or connection. That makes Auspice especially good for housewarming, tea and coffee lovers, meaningful desk-to-home objects, and people who appreciate gifts with substance rather than just sentiment.

    We usually need about 5-10 days to make your piece, and delivery typically takes another 7-15 days after dispatch. That gives us enough time to complete the handmade work properly while still keeping the overall wait very reasonable for gifting or personal use.

    1. Rinse with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive scrubbers to protect the glaze surface.
    2. Sudden temperature changes may cause damage. Let the cup cool before rinsing, and avoid pouring boiling water into a cold cup.
