Oxford Sapphire English Fine Bone China 英國製造特級骨質瓷
In the East, chrysanthemums are renowned for representing nobility and a long and vibrant life. In the West, they often symbolise optimism and joy. The orderly unfolding of their petals is said to represent perfection. Our unconventional approach of illustrating some unruly unfolding petals symbolically reflects the random changes that make for a stronger and more beautiful life. This sophisticated range has been decorated on both sides of the plate to produce a truly magnificent set of dinnerware and to enrich the connection between the china and ourselves. We have produced a functional work of art that you can dine off on either the most formal or relaxed of occasions. 在 東 方 ，菊 花 ，四 君 子 之 一 ，有 吉 祥 和 長 壽 的 含 意 。在 西 方 ，古 希 臘 人 稱 之 為 金 色 的 花 ，帶 著 樂 觀 和 喜 悅 的 訊 息 。也 有 人 說 菊 花 齊 整 而 有 秩 序 的 綻 放 ，是 完 美 的 象 徵；設 計中隨 風 擺 動 的 菊 瓣 ，意 味 著 人 生 經 歷中 的 小 插曲，使 我 們 更 堅 強 也 更 美 麗 。此 款 作 工 精 細 的 骨 瓷 餐 具 組 ，保 持 了手 繪 的 筆 觸 ，前 後 呼 應 的 設 計 ，連 存 放 時 都 能 看 見 製 作 的用心 ，大 小 器 形 間 的 圖 案 相 互 輝 映 ，營 造了縱 向 使 用 的 連 貫 性 ，用 餐 時 隨 意 的 搭 配 組 合 ，使 得 藝 術 生 活 化 。此 系 列 適用於 各 式 場 合 ，并 成 為 您 家中雅 致 經典的裝飾。

Complete Hand Painted in JingDeZhen 手繪於景德鎮
Our bespoke dinnerware with its contrasting crisp straight external lines and smooth curved inner surface comes from our desire to reflect cultural values in our products. This design was inspired by the Chinese saying “Be strict with oneself
and lenient towards others” . This influence can be seen best from the dinnerware profile, with the sweeping sides reflecting our arms outstretched in a welcoming and open fashion. The inspiration behind 'Complete' is the appreciation of the
fullness of life . This is illustrated by praising the robust and perennial chrysanthemum, as the constant across the changing seasons. Each season vividly depicts the chrysanthemum against a backdrop of leaves presented in the colour tones of that season. The arrangement of random leaves creates both depth and volume whereas the casually flowing flower gives the illusion of a gentle breeze passing through the composition. 這一款雅緻精美的手繪菊花餐具系列，在讚詠生命的交替，也描繪自然的美 好，用微妙的色彩變化突顯季節的氣息，每個時令都是獨立的設計，錯落繽 紛的葉子拉出了畫面的深度和廣度，肆意搖擺的花瓣似微風拂面，每一個畫 面都在訴說著一個故事。此款限量版手繪餐具組疊放時如同綻放的花朵。

Winter 圓滿 ∙ 冬 Serenely narrates this wintry season with pale and cool tone colours. The calming combination of a thistle pink chrysanthemum with loosely floating petals, together with light brown, honey dew, lime green and periwinkle blue coloured leaves sets the mood of a tranquil idyll.

Hand Painted in JingDeZhen 純 手 繪 於 景 德鎮 At Spherebol we have a dedicated team of highly trained artists, painting and illustrating with meticulous care and love. They ensure that each item contains the most exquisite details using the most vibrant and beautiful colours. Each item is unique with subtle twists added by our artists, always enhancing the features and elements. Our devotion towards fine art has driven our decision to use a highly complicated production method known as 'in–glaze' painting and firing. The use of this technique enables us to not only deliver the most vibrant colours, but also by allowing the paint to sit under the glaze further ensures the longevity and safety of the ware. Our dinnerware makes a great statement on any dining table and a beautiful display on your walls. Additionally, this outstanding hand painted technique is also applied across our lighting and living product ranges. 在這量產製造、時尚流行的年代，我們選擇了放慢腳步，保存傳統手繪工藝， 同時研究發色創新，融入現代設計概念，創造出了一款款令人驚艷的限量版 瓷製手繪餐具ʼ光具及逸品以滿足喜愛頂級精緻工藝、享受生活藝術的藏家。 我們參考東西方飲食及日常生活中器物使用的習性， 設計了一件件我們引 以為傲的作品。清脆耿直的線條ʼ婉約優美的弧度和白皙通透的釉面，都為 精湛的手繪匠人們提供了最好的畫布。

Eggshell Porcelain Lamps Made in Jingdezhen Our new range of lamps is made from the truly astonishing 'Eggshell' porcelain. Eggshell porcelain was first developed during the Ming dynasty (1400AD) and is famous for being paper thin with an exceptional whiteness and translucency. This translucency makes it an ideal material to produce our stunning lamps. As devotees of Eggshell porcelain, we have researched and developed our own unique recipe. These lamps are paired with a wooden base made for us by an award winning third generation family firm in Taipei. We have consciously chosen certified wood whose grain and colour complement the lamps.

Momentum Hand Painted in JingDeZhen 手繪於景德鎮
Momentum was designed by our founder, Guy Thompson and illustrated by our incredible team of artists. This lamp with graceful curved surfaces expanding out from the base to the middle before gradually tapering in towards the top was designed to give the illusion of motion. Inspired by the pure whiteness of the porcelain, a beautiful hexagonal snow crystal like structure has been ingeniously incorporated to complement the piece and further to create a pleasing ripple effect on the surface. A lavender wildflower meadow has been rendered to celebrate this piece. The forest, emerald and lime green leaves provide a lush and luminous foundation to the artwork, whilst the flowing purple and blue lavender flowers generate a fantastic illusion of uplifting movement. On illumination this lamp is transformed, with the snow white sides glowing with a warm and radiant light that will warm your heart. 這款雅致而充滿動感的燈具，是由創辦人Guy Thompson所設計的，靈感 來自於我們引以為傲白淨如雪的薄瓷，採用了雪晶美麗的六邊形，創造了如 漣漪般的波浪紋路，從上沿順勢開放再收直的設計，充盈一股向上的能量。 隨風飄逸的薰衣草，茂盛而深淺不一的綠蔭，若隱若現的光暈，如同漫步 在 原 野 花 叢 間 。當 燈 點 亮 時 ，半 透 明 的 雪白波 浪 紋 路 ，營 造了溫 暖 而 有 情趣的光芒。

Hopeful Mind Hand Painted in JingDeZhen 手繪於景德鎮
This design was inspired by Chinese Sky Lanterns, set off in the evening all beautifully illuminated, taking our hopes and dreams to the stars and our worries gone with the wind. The matt glaze against the Superwhite porcelain gives an almost sandy texture to the piece and the illusion of white clouds.
On this background our artists have painted an
abstract landscape reminiscent of a misty Chinese mountain and water scene. The dark blue gives the impression of a beautiful landscape on a crystal clear, chill morning with the mist gently swirling around the mountain peaks. On illumination the lamp is transformed into the symbolic representation of glowing sky lanterns in the midnight sky. 這款令人激賞的燈具設計，靈感來自於乘載著人們美好願望的天燈，當燈緩 緩昇空，彷彿心裡的夢想被傳達到星夜，所有的煩惱也瞬間消逝。 高白的瓷體配上如細砂般的釉面處理，像是空中繾綣的白雲，以極簡風格詮 釋中式潑墨山水，將山水融為一色，又依稀可見林間的霧氣，山頂空氣中的 露珠。當燈點亮後，如同靜夜中的爐火，放送著溫暖，感動直達心底。

Handcrafted Vases Made in Jingdezhen
We started with the determination of making porcelain with our own hands and hoping that by realising our dreams we inspire others to pursue theirs. At Spherebol we have realised our dream by developing a range of exquisite vases to complement your surroundings. Our vases are hand thrown and trimmed to our unique designs using the finest JingDeZhen porcelain clay by the master ceramic artisans. They are then fired under high temperature to produce a shiny and smooth surface before being passed over to our artists to paint. Each individual vase takes hundreds of hours of shaping, painting and enduring many firings. For Spring 2015, we are introducing a new limited edition vase design 'Innocent Dreams', and later on in the season 'Chime' and 'Couture'.

Innocent Dreams Hand Painted in JingDeZhen 手繪於景德鎮
This magnificent vase trilogy was inspired by those innocent dreams we had when young. The elegant Calla Lilies reflect the purity of youth, with hundreds of meticulously painted tiny bubbles representing the dreams we had when we were young and innocent. Reminding and encouraging us that anything is possible. The three main colour themes of the trilogy signify the common path of humanity from the purity of youth, depicted by the red vase, through the exuberance and blossoming of early adulthood depicted by the purple vase and finally the wisdom and understanding of maturity by the gold vase. 這件獨一無二的窄口瓶三部曲，以馬蹄蓮為主角，華麗而優雅地訴說著純潔 的夢，化成眾多無瑕的泡泡，隱約可見的綠葉，彷彿夢想融入生命而成為記 憶，全心的謄錄著。 三個色系表示三種時空，從赤裸裸的新生，蛻變到
