Ceramic, with gold embellishments, it's adorned with subtle motifs like the lotus, lian (莲), synonymous with continuity; the magpie, xi que (喜鹊), symbolizing happiness; and fishes, yu (鱼) symbolizing plenty - well wishes to warm a moment, or serve as a meaningful gift to loved ones.

Exquisite, bright, uplifting. MAY your mug fill you with happiness and abundance.

DETAILS

A graphic pattern inspired by the warmth of home, of living in Singapore, from the myriad of warm brews. Some made for us by our family and loved ones, some from our streets, in the kopitiams, the sarabat stalls etc. Memories of enjoying these beverages bring a warm glow to our hearts. 

Memories of mom brewing that ginseng drink to keep us energized during stressful work periods, grandma making that chrysanthemum drink when she felt we were too heaty, chugging down mugs of teh halia or kopi from the sarabat stall after intense meetings or just chatting with friends.

The ingredients of these beverages are illustrated in a batik style, creating a pattern that is weaved with meaningful natural ingredients that are used to make warm, nourishing brews that make all of us feel at home in Singapore.

The award-winning Love is a Warm Brew collection consisting of cushion covers, mugs, tea towels, greeting cards and specially blended teas symbolises the love, care and kinship found through making, giving or sharing these heartwarming brews.

Velvet. Fits up to 50 x 50 cm Cushion insert.

DETAILS

Long before Raffles arrived in Singapore in 1819, a long history of foreign trade was already established. Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain from the 16th to 17th century were found in the Kallang River, indicating the presence of foreign trade.

In return for precious Chinese porcelain, Singapore, then known as Temasek, would supply Chinese traders with rare hornbill casques and high quality lakawood.

Some of the traded porcelain may have been known as Swatow ware - a style of Ming Dynasty ware intended for the Southeast Asian market. The style was vibrant and spontaneous, where birds, animals, trees, flowers, water and landscapes were painted freehand. Some of these artworks also depicted trading ships.

The 1818 Collection employs this vibrant and spontaneous style to illustrate scenery depicting local legends from Sang Nila Utama, the Dragon’s Teeth Gate and the Legend of Red Hill, set amongst local flora and fauna, some of which can still be found thriving in Singapore today.

Hidden within the scenes, one may also find icons from contemporary Singapore, creating a subtle sense of wonder in relation to time, history and culture.
