The "A Hero Deemed" Mug set, a homage to Lang Shining's—or Giuseppe Castiglione's—vivid portrayal of historical valor, crystallizes the tale of Ma Hai's bravery into the form of fine porcelain. Echoing the emperor Ch’ien Long's command, this set intricately transforms the warrior's gallantry from Castiglione's "Macang Lays Low the Enemy Ranks" into shadowy impressions on the mug surface, capturing the dynamism of a hero in the midst of battle. The handle, inspired by Macang's bow, is finished with a subtle matte gold, symbolizing the glory of victory and the art of war. This product not only reflects the meticulous detail of Castiglione’s original hand scroll painting but also Lincentury's innovation in craftsmanship, featuring layers of richly colored glaze applied through a complex process of high-temperature firings and decal applications. Adorned with genuine Heraeus liquid gold, the "A Hero Deemed" Mug set is a functional piece of art that brings the unyielding spirit of a Qing Dynasty hero and the mastery of an Italian Jesuit painter into the contemporary home.
