This is a guardian spirit forever yours, quiet yet noble.

This art piece gives you protection energy, it is the empowerment of your inner harmony.

 

Cats are traditional guardians in households of southwestern China. At the center of the (tile) roof of each traditional home, a ceramic cat with an wild-open mouth is placed, sitting and gazing into the distance. It serves to ward off evil spirits and attract wealth for the family.As a gift, it represents protection and blessings; kept for oneself, it stands for self-nurturing and inner harmony.

 

Exclusively signed by VIVIDAION, female artist Liang Yu personally designs and handcrafts each piece.

 

The cup’s surface captures the cat’s lively and alert expression. Whether it’s a hot cup of tea in the morning or a sip of coffee during late-night writing, it quietly keeps you company in the form of a cat, reminding you to stay true to your intentions.It is more than a cup, it is a daily ritual. Within its gentle warmth lies the awakening of a thousand-year guardianship.

 

The making process mirrors the artist’s spirit: peaceful, resolute, powerful, yet endowed with an undeniable allure.Through sincerity and intuition, the artist creates a blessing and protection meant only for you; it may also be given to a cherished loved one, sharing a deep and serene strength.

 

Romance is not fragile, and gentleness can be sharp. This isn’t a sugary pink, but a color forged through intense heat and resilience. The glaze is delicate and smooth, with natural color transitions that reveal layers of emotion and depth of perception where love and strenth are hidden within.Ideal for those who embrace independence and believe in the strength of gentleness.

 

The clay body undergoes two firings. It is first fired at 800°C to form pottery, then coated with glaze and fired again at 1200°C to transform into porcelain. The complete crafting process takes around 24 days.Due to the need for two firings, only about half of the clay forms successfully become ceramic works. Pieces that are too small or too large have an even lower success rate.Due to the unpredictable nature of glaze colors during firing, the final color remains unknown until the kiln is opened.The accessories are chosen by the artist based on their personal connection to each piece, giving it a unique spirit and character. No two are the same, and none are replicated.Carefully maintained, it can be cherished and passed down through generations.
