The rim of this tea set is as smooth as skin and shine as moonlight.
This tea set is in the simple yet graceful ancient forms of Song Dynasty porcelain (960 - 1279).
The surface of this fine porcelain is hand-painted of Chinese mountains with a layer of pure silver through a high temperature of 1330 degrees.

Stemming from the artist’s interest in rare ancient Chinese tea cup glazes, RAN Xiangfei seeks to create glazes that have a three-dimensional quality and convey purity and peacefulness. His forms can be characterized as classic, calm, and balanced in aesthetic. His porcelains are pristine, grace and fine, disarmingly simple, contemplative objects whose finishes reflect the panoply of the natural world — spring flowers, mountain under clouds, moonlight, star-filled nights, undulating ocean waves, and fiery sunsets.

RAN Xiangfei uses the old Chinese process of throwing, glazing, firing, and painting, that is as refined and complex as the artwork itself. All his works are handmade in the full ancient Chinese Imperial Kiln process of Jindezhen since 1000 years.

Porcelains created by RAN Xiangfei won numerous significant international awards like Best of Best of Red Dot in Germany at age of 23, and are included in significant museum collections as Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Provenance

The artist believes that every porcelain hand-painted in silver he creates is as alive and interactive as nature.
Silver can store time. As it makes the invisible time tangible through this natural and artistic change.
Silver is responsive, ‘conversational’ material. It’s capable of conveying movement, stillness, ideas and sensations.


The color of the pure silver surface of his unique artwork will be “alive” and gradually change over time.

To the eyes of the artist, the life of his artwork is then uniquely taken a position within people's lives.

Because the same piece, used by different people, in different ways, will make it a different look and a different live.

Exhibitions

July-August: "Timeless", group exhibition, Art Thema HéYī gallery, Brussels, Belgium

Literature

“Xiangxi, China, is my hometown.

A rainy hilly area with tenderness and chivalrous heros.

Only after leaving did I see the appearance of my hometown.

Depicting the mountains and the rain stroke by stroke is how I miss for it”


- Ran Xiangfei
