The one thing on the desk that asks nothing of you.
Most of what a founder keeps close is loud — the screen, the phone, the next decision. This is the one thing on the desk that asks nothing of you.
Five vessels, each carrying an auspicious form from the old tradition, each painted by one hand over stone-weathered glaze and finished in gold. Not blessed. Made by a master whose hands did not need the blessing.
Master Xu has consecrated thousands of pieces. He did not consecrate this one.
SELECTED BY MASTER XU
For years, whenever the collection turned toward a vessel something held every morning, not set on a shelf — Master Xu held it to the same standard as a stone: it had to be true before it reached his hands.
He does not paint. So he found the one man who could.
Qiu Guihuan, Dehua porcelain country, kilns burning for a thousand years. Thirty years spent learning to hold a brush steady enough to lay a dragon's breath in gold, one unbroken line, no correction. Every piece hand-painted, no two alike, only thirty of each to ever exist.
"A blessing changes what a stone carries. This — Qiu Guihuan spent thirty years learning how to hold a brush steady enough to paint a dragon's breath in gold. That's its own kind of mastery. I didn't bless this mug. I found the one man whose hands didn't need me to." — Master Xu
The Five Pieces
Five forms. One hand.
Each an edition of thirty — no two alike.
The Ascending Dragon 01
青花描金龍
A dragon climbing through wave and cloud, drawn in deep blue beneath the stone glaze and finished in a single line of gold. The dragon is the oldest emblem of ascent — it rises, it does not wait. In the tradition it stands for authority and forward motion, the figure founders have always kept closest. It does not promise the climb. It keeps the climb in view.

From the imperial courts of old China, the Fenghuang, king of birds, painted wing by wing in cobalt and gold across the stone-glazed clay. Old record says she rests on no branch but the wutong tree, and appears only in an age of virtue and peace. Paired with the dragon she completes 龍鳳呈祥 fortune arriving through union and alone she is 丹鳳朝陽, the crimson phoenix greeting the dawn: an omen that what is good is now being seen.

The feitian of Dunhuang, caught mid-flight, her ribbons and cloud-trails drawn out in colour and gold. She scatters blessing as she flies — freedom and good fortune in motion, the lightness of a life not held to the ground. Of the five, the quietest, and the one that moves.

A peony opening across a firestone-red glaze, its petals inked blue-black and traced in gold. The peony is 富貴 — wealth and honour, the flower the old world named king among flowers. Standing worn quietly, not announced.

The baoxiang flower — the sacred composite bloom of Dunhuang laid in gold over firestone red, framed by a ruyi band. 寶相花 is the flower of blessing and dignity; the 如意 border carries its own old wish, that things go as you would have them.

In the old desk arrangements, the far left corner was kept for what mattered most — not papers, not tools, the one object you'd notice leaving. Set the Reserve there.
祿

Prosperity & Standing
Not fortune by chance — standing earned at the desk, one page at a time. The Reserve marks that quiet kind of wealth.
富貴
Fù Guì
Wealth & Honour
Not wealth that arrives, wealth that's built, one sitting at a time, and the standing that follows it home.

Where Prosperity Sits
In this practice, a vessel holds nothing on a shelf. It holds its weight on the desk, and in how often you sit down to the work.
The desk is the founder's 財位, the wealth position: the seat from which the decisions that move money are made. That is how an auspicious form is brought to life. Not by owning it. By sitting it where the work happens and meeting it every morning.
Each of the five carries its own current. Prosperity and standing. Wealth and honour. Blessing that arrives, and arrives long. Made for the desk where fortune is worked for, not the shelf where it is admired.
It will not make the decisions for you. It sharpens the eye that does and keeps the intention in sight, every morning, before the noise begins.
Alone, the dragon guards. Alone, the phoenix arrives with the dawn. Together, they complete an idea older than either symbol alone — 龍鳳呈祥, fortune made whole through union. Traditionally gifted for marriage, partnership, and new beginnings, this pairing has never been sold apart from meaning, and it isn't here either.
Special Bundle — Dragon & Phoenix (Only 10 pairs available)
Only 10 of this pairing will ever be bound together. Once claimed, the remaining Dragon and Phoenix mugs return to individual sale only.
"This collection carries no blessing — it carries a maker. Each piece is proof of Qiu Guihuan's hand, not a ceremony performed on your behalf."
1. Numbered Provenance Card Each mug is hand-painted by master ceramicist Qiu Guihuan — no ritual, no ceremony, just thirty years of hand-trained skill. Your card carries the piece's edition number, the motif, and the craftsman's name. This is not a blessing certificate; it's proof of the hand that made it.
2. Exquisite Gift Packaging Every mug arrives in a premium gift box, prepared and shipped with care — ready to be handled as a piece of craft, not a mass retail item.
This is one of many purchase from Master Xu. I really like the design and it looks very nice on my wrist. The only issue is the length, which i have over estimated. But with Jessica recommendation on what should I do if i needed to reduce the length, I feel more assure and relax. Thanks again to Jessica, she always reply promptly and with good advice. Thanks!
Since having discovered Feng Shui through Master Xu and the purchase of multiple items, certain things in life now seem settled and insights are much more frequent and clearer. His practice is genuine and his sharing of knowledge invaluable.

Since we started tapping on the card from Feng Shui Master Xu, we have slowly noticed a positive change in our business. At first, the changes were subtle, but over time we began receiving more enquiries and more jobs started coming through.

I purchased this talisman about two months ago. Now, when I received it, before I had even opened the box, I felt a bit like I’d had a cocktail, buzzy, light headed. I hadn’t, as I said even opened, the box yet, just picked it up from the mailbox. It could be coincidence.
I opened the box and did the ritual included. I didn't feel anything then. And not really since that day…until the past 2 weeks when I began feeling a tacit shift. Can’t truly describe it. I also began receiving good news and recognition in my business. So I’d say maybe something’s brewing. I feel hopeful.
Aside from all that, it’s a beautiful talisman card, expertly crafted. I keep it on my desk for the most part as I don’t want to leave it my pocket and risk losing it.
All in all I am glad I took the chance to purchase this item.
Store owner replied:
Hi Pilar, good to see you again! We’re really glad to hear that you’ve begun noticing a positive shift, especially with the good news and recognition coming through in your business.
Everyone’s experience can feel different, so there is no need to expect a particular sensation from the talisman. What matters most is that you feel comfortable keeping it close and using it as a meaningful reminder of your intention. Wishing this positive momentum continues to build for you. Team FSMX
This item has now become part of my daily ritual. I use it daily during my taking of morning or evening Sencha. I am grateful to Master Xu and his team for making such an heirloom available. Thank you! 🙏
Store owner replied:
Hi Jonathan, it’s lovely to hear that the piece has become part of your daily tea ritual and holds such personal meaning for you. We truly appreciate your support, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Master Xu and our team. With blessings, Team FSMX.
