Three oracle bone forms of 溫, 1200 BC
皿 is a vessel, drawn this way since the oracle bone script. Each of the three oracle bone forms of 溫 stands on it, with warm water and its drops rising in the middle. 溫 is warmth, the first half of our name.
Journal
All entries
The saying about seventy-two hands
In Jingdezhen there is an old saying about how a piece of porcelain gets made: a single clay body passes through seventy-two hands before it becomes a vessel (共計一坯之力，過手七十二，方克成器).
Under the glaze: why the painting stays put
Run a fingertip over the cat on one of our painted cups and you will feel glaze, not paint.
White slip: the pale coat under a painted cat
Slip is clay thinned with water until it pours like cream.
Why small cups
Most of our cups are smaller than the mug in your cupboard.
