Connection between tradition and modernity
The brand MAOCI stands for a unpretentious, but stylish design with a traditional background. Important: Only when MAOCI is written on it, MAOCI will be inside
The connection between tradition and modernity is one of the outstanding characteristics behind our designs. It means that you will find many pieces with a very traditional look, but also tea pots, teacups, tea warmers or mats with a clear and modern look. In co-operation with our porcelain suppliers we have created many designs which are produced exclusively for MAOCI. All our products are painted by hand to give each single MAOCI product a great uniqueness.
Look out to the MAOCI branding. On all of our items you can find a M or the complete MAOCI tag, so that it is easy to recognize: Only when MAOCI is written on it, you really hold MAOCI in your hands.

Welcome 2021 – welcome Jianzhang collection
New year – new items: MAOCI is starting the year 2021 with nine mugs in Jianzhang style. Feel inspired!
Welcome into the new year 2021! Immediately at the start of the new year MAOCI proudly presents a new porcelain series. The collection includes nine teamugs in different colours with the traditional Jianzhan finish.
Jian Ware, also called Chien Ware, are simple shapes of stoneware with a strong emphasis on effects in the glazes. During the Chinese Song dynasty they achieved a high prestige, especially among Buddhist monks, but later on in Japan as well.
The mugs are made by using iron-rich clays and fired at temperatures of 1,300 degrees. The glaze was made using clay similar to that used for forming the body, except fluxed with wood ash. At high temperatures the molten glaze separates to produce the pattern.
How valuable and expensive antique Jian ware can be, shows the example of the Song Jian tea-bowl of the yuteki tenmoku type, long in the Japanese Kuroda family collection. On September 15 2016 this item was auctioned at Christie's New York for more than $US11 million.
An nice overview of the collection Jianzhan you will get with our newsletter, which you can download here as PDF file. Additional information including pricing we will send on request.

The secret of happiness
Once someone came to the Persian sage Nasrudin and asked him the following question: „What is the secret of happiness?“
Nasrudin thought for a while and then replied: „The secret of happiness is good judgment.”
„Aha”, said the man, „and how do I get good judgment?”
„Through experience.”
„Yes, yes”, replied the man, „but how do I get experience?”
„By poor judgment”, was Nasrudin's reply.
