【Mao’s studio x Xiangxin Kiln】Landscape Series・Chopstick & Dip Set

**《 Immersed in the Refinement of Landscape Art: A Gift of Love 》** Xiangxin Kiln, a heritage brand with over forty years of dedication in Yingge, is the predecessor to Mao’s studio, founded in 1980. In its early days, Xiangxin Kiln engaged in OEM production for European and American decorative ceramics. Since 1984, it underwent several transformations, developing its exclusive landscape series and artistic ceramics with oil-painting textured glazes, elevating porcelain into fine art. The landscape series is Xiangxin Kiln's representative work, meticulously studying ancient paintings from the National Palace Museum. With delicate brushwork, it renders misty clouds, interwoven forests, and the stereoscopic feel of distant mountains and nearby waters, integrating the inner cultivation of "mountains as virtue, water as nature." It portrays the grand and ethereal artistic conception of literati landscape painting, which reveres nature. In 2023, Mao’s studio brings Xiangxin Kiln's landscape art into everyday ceramics, blending ceramic glazes, techniques, and colors with hand-painting to evoke a scenic backdrop, allowing one to immerse in the refinement of landscape art and create a new classic. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52846893362_815d403d8e_b.jpg A window, a door, a home, A gift full of natural beauty, On the most important days, offer the most sincere respect, Let a home filled with happiness become life's most treasured collection. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52847871270_6be8e05bcb_b.jpg ▲ Offer the most sincere blessings, letting life gracefully flow amidst natural landscapes. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52847871480_e65b5d0509_b.jpg **《About Xiangxin Kiln》** Founded in 1980 by Mr. Mao Changhui, the owner of Mao’s studio, in Yingge. Initially, the focus was on producing and processing ceramic decorative items, with most products exported to European countries like Germany. Starting from 1984, the studio began producing larger pieces such as vases and artistic pottery made on the wheel, aiming to diversify and artisticize its works, making them more suitable for collection. Xiangxin Kiln's works primarily feature underglaze painting techniques like bas-relief, ink wash landscapes, and ink wash lotus flowers. The self-developed "oil painting glaze" boasts brushstrokes akin to oil paints, with layered textures, forming the essence of its creations. The first generation, Mr. Mao Changhui, accumulated over thirty years of experience in ceramic firing. His unique painting techniques and glaze coloration brought traditional ceramic craftsmanship to new heights. The commitment to handcrafted spirit cemented the early position of Yingge's ceramics industry. **【Product Name】** • Landscape Series Chopstick & Dip Set [Mao’s studio x Xiangxin Kiln] **【Product Contents】** • Small House Soy Dip Dish / 2 pcs • Chopsticks / 2 pairs • Exquisite Gift Box Set / 1 pc **【Product Specifications】** • Material: Ceramic clay, hand-painted • Small House Soy Dip Dish Dimensions/Weight: 9 x 8 x 2 cm / Approx. 50g • Chopsticks Dimensions/Material: Length 21 cm / Bamboo • Packaging Box Dimensions/Weight: 23 x 16 x 3 cm / Approx. 400g • Ceramic Origin: Produced by a local kiln in Yingge, Taiwan • Product has passed SGS inspection https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52847927888_7551d38643_b.jpg ▲ Landscape Series Chopstick & Dip Set • Contents: 2 Small House Soy Dip Dishes, 2 pairs of Chopsticks, 1 Exquisite Gift Box Set • https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52847927838_a2f35e7ca9_b.jpg ▲ Landscape Series Soy Dip Dish, hand-painted stroke by stroke, adding natural beauty to your cuisine. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52847927848_59d542c50d_b.jpg ▲ Landscape Series Chopstick & Dip Set, a gift filled with natural beauty. **【Usage Instructions】** 1.
