Jade-like porcelain is a refined form of Dehua porcelain that is fired under higher temperatures in a controlled kiln environment, allowing the material to become denser, smoother, and more translucent.

Unlike unglazed porcelain, where the surface remains matte and textured, jade-like porcelain develops a soft gloss and a silky, almost buttery smooth finish. Light doesn’t just reflect on the surface—it gently diffuses through it, creating a subtle, milky translucency similar to jade.

It’s special because it reveals a different side of the same clay. The process is more demanding and less predictable, but the result is a cup that feels warmer, smoother, and more refined in the hand—something that is not only seen, but truly felt.

The finish isn’t created by a coating or glaze. Each L1GHT cup is made from premium Dehua porcelain and fired in a vacuum kiln at around 1,350°C in longer hours. After firing, every cup is carefully hand-polished to achieve its smooth, matte “jade-like” surface. This combination of advanced firing and traditional craftsmanship gives the porcelain its soft texture, natural translucency, and warm glow when held up to the light.
