L1GHT Espresso (90ml)

We source pure white kaolin directly from Dehua, Fujian—renowned for its exceptional purity and plasticity. This local clay gives LIGHT its signature jade-white hue and delicate, semi-translucent quality.

We begin with hand drawings, move into modern CAD modeling, and produce 3D-printed prototypes to fine-tune the form. Once the design is locked, we use precision molds to cast each cup in Dehua clay. After the bisque stage, skilled hands carve and polish the narrow “neck” just below the rim—our ergonomic fingertip rest—ensuring every piece feels perfectly balanced in your hand.

After bisque firing, each cup is hand-polished with ultra-fine abrasives—often leather or very fine sand. This second manual pass smooths the surface perfectly and creates that soft, tactile “jade” feel.

“素烧” (su-shao) means “un-glazed firing.” We fire cups a second time at 1 300–1 360 °C without any glaze. At this heat, the porcelain itself vitrifies—becoming glass-like, dense, and beautifully semi-translucent—producing the ice-jade glow that defines LIGHT.

We cool the kiln slowly to prevent stress cracks. Each cup is then hand-inspected for flawless translucence, a pure matte finish, and exact dimensions. Only those meeting our strict standards earn the LIGHT name.

1. Local Clay: Only Dehua kaolin delivers the pure jade-white tone.

2. Two Hand-Polish Steps: Carving the ergonomic neck-curve and post-bisque polishing guarantee a buttery smooth touch.

3. Single High-Heat “素烧” Stage: No glaze preserves the clay’s natural beauty and lets light become part of the cup.
