The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A moon flask, or bianhu, is a flattened circular ceramic vessel inspired by historical metallic pilgrim bottles, traditionally produced in China featuring twin scroll handles and underglaze decoration.

These vessels are crafted from fine kaolin clay, painted with cobalt oxide underglaze decoration prior to firing, and sealed with a clear glaze in a high-temperature kiln.

Authentic pieces display characteristic cobalt blue glaze variations, foot ring wear consistent with usage, hand-painted artwork, and traditional potting marks.

Large moon flasks serve as architectural focal points on sideboards, consoles, or mantelpieces, contrasting effectively against neutral backdrops and contemporary woodwork.

Dust gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or soft brush, avoiding chemical cleaners or soaking in water to protect delicate glazes and potential structural hairline cracks.
