The First Bloom Vase

From the heart of Calf Handmade Studio, this vase is lovingly handcrafted by artisan Liu Kun, who has poured over a decade of passion into his work in Jingdezhen, the world’s capital of porcelain.

Liu reimagines the gentle, classic silhouette of a moon jar, seeing in its form the simple, heartwarming joy of a piece of candy. Each vase is shaped entirely by hand, carrying the unique story of its creation from a simple ball of clay to a finished work of art. This dedication is guided by Liu Kun's principle: "If the heart is free, what it creates will be inclusive and welcoming."

This vase captures the very moment spring arrives. It’s the sudden, joyful clash of new color in a world waking up from winter.

With a design that feels both playful and intentional, this piece embodies the fresh, tender energy of the season’s first bloom. The bold colors don't just sit; they interact and energize each other, creating a sense of movement and life. It's a snapshot of nature's vibrant, hopeful return.

Place it in your home and let it be a daily reminder of new beginnings—a splash of joyful color that brings the freshness of an early spring day, indoors.
