Coiling Branch Pattern · Chunky Cola Cup
Capacity: 280ml | Craft: Underglaze High-Fired Porcelain
In Chinese Daoist philosophy, the concept of “one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things” reflects the beauty of endless continuity and renewal. Rooted in this cultural background, the coiling branch pattern emerged as one of the most traditional motifs in Chinese decorative art. Originating as an evolution of the scrolling grass pattern, it gained popularity during the Yuan dynasty. This motif uses plant stems or vines as the framework, which twist and coil in wave-like or spiral shapes, often paired with leaves, flowers, or fruits. The design symbolizes eternal vitality, continuity, and prosperity.
About the Cup
The Chunky Cola Cup features a rounded and full-bodied form that feels solid and warm in the hand. The body is crafted from coarse clay, retaining the raw texture and visible hand-making traces that give it a tactile, unpolished charm. The surface is adorned with hand-painted coiling branch patterns, each one created freehand, making every cup a truly one-of-a-kind piece. The underglaze is high-fired at approximately 1300°C, resulting in a smooth yet natural finish that highlights the detailed brushwork and the timeless beauty of this traditional motif.
