Pilingpalang received its name from the soft sounds—the clinking and clattering—you hear when opening and closing containers made of ceramics, lacquer, or Cloisonné-enamel. The high-quality ornament pieces are actually everyday Chinese objects that are made with traditional techniques. The classic and symbolic motifs and patterns in daring colors make mundane objects such as lunchboxes, tea cans, lanterns, bowls, and vases refreshingly bold and elegant at the same time.
