"Each porcelain component is produced in Jingdezhen and fired twice at nearly 2000 °C. The thin 3 mm walls allow candlelight to subtly diffuse through the surface, creating a tactile and visual interaction between light and material. The high-temperature firing process introduces variation, with approximately 30 percent of the pieces lost during production, an outcome that reinforces the individuality of each object."
"The candle consists of a white porcelain lid and base paired with a transparent glass body. This composition establishes a dialogue between opacity and clarity, structure and fluidity. The soft curvature and compact geometry result from an iterative design process aimed at achieving formal balance rather than ornamentation. all images courtesy of Carla Pan and Chill More Carla Pan frames light and warmth within a minimal form"
Tea Break Candle combines white Jingdezhen porcelain with a transparent glass body to create a compact vessel that mediates light and ritual pauses. The design pairs opaque porcelain lid and base with a clear glass middle, setting up contrasts of opacity versus clarity and of structure versus fluidity. Thin 3 mm porcelain walls, double-fired at nearly 2000 °C, allow gentle diffusion of candlelight while production losses of about 30 percent make each piece unique. Soft curvature and compact geometry prioritize formal balance over ornamentation, uniting porcelain precision with glass expressiveness for functional self-care.
