A special edition of Hong Kong mug born from one unexpected glaze firing result. There is the ascent of Moonrise in it. Flowing over edges, tracing marks, it reveals silhouettes and details in its own quiet way. We name this glaze Moonlight, inspired by the way moonlight gently softens the night sky. A new tone, born from the same Moon inspiration.
Born in the 1980s British Hong Kong periods, we are grown up and surrounded by the strong colonial aesthetics. Walking around neighborhoods in Sheung Wan was our favorite thing to do in Hong Kong. Rise to the Mid-levels to admire the many handsome classically-inspired Edwardian buildings and façades, the unique blend of colonial style architectures with traditional Chinese words is always fascinated us. We hope to capture this bit of fading colonial charm in crafting the mug details and 香港 typography style. To reconnect to the colonial British Hong Kong that we are grown up in, and to remind our next generations this piece of fading culture through the everlasting ceramics.
