Throwing

Each Blanc de Jade piece begins at the wheel, shaped entirely by hand. Skilled potters center, pull, and refine the form with precision and care, allowing the porcelain to express its full fluidity. This slow, deliberate process gives each piece its unique presence—balanced, airy, and quietly powerful.

Trimming
Once partially dried, the piece is passed to a trimmer, a specialist who delicately refines the base and silhouette. Excess clay is removed with fine tools to reveal the final contour and to achieve a perfect sense of proportion. This invisible yet essential gesture brings lightness and definition.

Polishing
After trimming, each piece is polished by hand—slowly, thoroughly, and without shortcuts. This final touch softens the surface, giving the porcelain its signature velvety texture. The result is a tactile experience as pure as it is understated: matte, smooth, and inviting to the touch.

Firing
The pieces are then fired in gas kilns at 1300°C. This intense heat vitrifies the porcelain, sealing its structure and revealing its translucency. The firing atmosphere, carefully controlled, allows each form to emerge with strength, clarity, and a luminous inner glow—like jade kissed by light.

Philosophy
At Blanc de Jade, we embrace slowness, intention, and craft. Each piece is the result of a quiet choreography between hand and material, tradition and refinement. Made in small batches, every object carries the imprint of the persons who shaped it—and the spirit of timeless simplicity.
