Hand-Painted Under-Glaze Puppy Vase

By artist Xiansheng： I designed this puppy to be a quiet messenger of warmth.I start by sketching the puppy’s soft eyes, floppy ears, and the tulip it gently holds onto a pre-fired porcelain body, stroke by stroke. Then I cover the entire piece with a clear glaze, and fire it at over 1300°C. The pigments fuse deeply into the glaze, creating a velvety matte finish that never fades or wears—locking this little moment of cuteness into the ceramic forever.I hope this puppy finds a home on your desk, windowsill, or nightstand—somewhere it can remind you to slow down.
Born from Jingdezhen’s clay, fired with care, and painted with love, it’s not just a ceramic object. It’s a promise: even in the busiest days, there’s always room for a little flower, a little puppy, and a whole lot of gentle joy.
