Meaning
Warmth | Stability | Protection
The form is full and rounded, with khaki glaze that feels earthy and warm, capturing the natural temperature and breath of the clay. Accents of flowing azure glaze trace across the surface, like life brushing over the land, leaving a subtle interplay of light and shadow.
This piece is Huang Meng’s most direct tribute to the earth — solid and grounded, evoking the steadiness of time and the shelter of nature.
This tile cat wears a calm expression, like a guardian in the mountains.
The eyes of the WaMao (tile cat) are quiet — watching over the balance within the human heart.
The “Phantoms of the Mythic Beasts” collection is an exclusive creation for VIVIDAION by independent designer Huang Meng, inspired by the traditional tile cat motifs of Yunnan. Through miniature ceramic sculpture and experimental glaze techniques, he reinterprets this ancient symbol of protection into four wearable amulets.
Each piece explores the meaning of “guardianship” through the language of modern ceramics — where glaze, form, and the chance of fire converge to shape the soul of the work.
Huang Meng’s creations embrace the “marks of time” and the “beauty of imperfection” in handcraft. Within each small form lies emotional tension and the warmth of materiality. Worn as bracelet, pendant, or charm, the ancient guardian comes from the roof of old houses into your palm to protect you in daily life.
His works are gentle yet powerful, and those quiet observers are guardians of both life and inner peace.
Huang Meng reinterprets traditional symbols through handcrafted ceramics. Each of the four glazes and forms carries its own emotion, bringing the ancient imagery of guardianship into contemporary life. Whether worn or displayed, each piece offers an intimate dialogue with art, protecting both your life and your wishes.
