Crafted slowly, lived daily
Mist & Mark brings the objects of Chinese craft back into everyday rooms.
Every piece we carry began as a conversation between a maker and a material. We simply listen, and bring the result to a table near you.
Two characters, one spirit
Mist 岚
The breath that rises from mountain valleys in the morning. In Chinese painting, mist is what makes a landscape feel calm and unhurried. We want our objects to bring that same stillness into a busy day.
Mark 迹
The trace a maker leaves behind: a brushstroke on porcelain, a knot in bamboo, one thread pulled through silk. Marks show that a human hand was there, and they are why every piece feels personal.
Three crafts, three hands
We buy directly from small workshops and independent artisans, paying fair prices and sharing their names with you.
Jingdezhen porcelain
Jingdezhen has made porcelain for more than a thousand years. We work with a small family studio there, where each cup is shaped on the wheel, dried for days and painted by hand. Plum blossoms, bamboo and cloud motifs are brushed in cobalt under a clear glaze, so no two pieces match exactly.
Suzhou embroidery
Suzhou embroidery, one of the four great embroideries of China, is worked stitch by stitch in silk. Our scarves and sachets come from embroiderers who train for years to blend the threads so a petal shades from pale to deep. A single piece can take weeks, and the subtle variation is part of its character.
Bamboo weaving
Bamboo is split, shaved to a fine strip and woven by hand into baskets, trays and fruit bowls. The craft depends on patience and on reading the grain of each culm. We choose weavers who keep the old knots and finishing methods, and who let the natural colour of the bamboo age gently over time.
