While high-fired porcelain was first developed by the Chinese during the Han Dynasty, bone china was actually invented in England as a result of a mistaken translation and a bit of ingenuity. Re-connecting these two cultures in an entirely non-accidental way, we commissioned three English designers to collaborate with a small bone
china studio in Northern China and a 2nd generation family-owned stoneware workshop in Thailand. While a palette of tonally harmonic colors offers enough consistency to mix and match across the different series, each hand-painted object is as unique as the person who made it.
Avva Fern Series Maria Lintott's Fern pattern is hand-painted onto bone china at Asianera Studios (Northern China) using an innovative masking/sponging technique. Small variations make each piece as unique as the artist that painted it.
Avva White Series Master ceramicist Jian Ping Li created the Avva White series as a balance between traditional and contemporary. Brilliant white bone china made at Asianera Studios (Northern China) complements the Avva Fern series for a signature look.
Oyyo Petal Series Maria Lintott's Petal pattern is hand-painted onto bone china at Asianera Studios (Northern China) in a palette of colors that connects effortlessly with the Oyyo tumblers as well as our range of 100% linen napkins, runners, cloths and mats.
