✨ Product Overview

👑 Cultural & Craft Legacy

星曜之意 | The Radiance of Celestial Power
The name “星曜” (Celestial Radiance) draws from ancient Chinese cosmology, where stars and precious stones were believed to channel divine energy. The embedded gemstones and radiant gold filigree echo this belief, transforming the teapot into a vessel of auspicious light.

紫金之辉 | The Glow of Purple and Gold
In imperial symbolism, purple represents nobility and mystery, while gold signifies wealth and divine favor. Their pairing in this teapot reflects a balance of power and grace, tradition and innovation.

工艺之极 | The Pinnacle of Decorative Craft
This piece combines modern material science with traditional handcraft: enamel firing, gemstone setting, and sculptural metalwork converge to create a teapot that is as much a ceremonial object as it is a work of art.
