THE COLLECTION

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.


Thirty of each. When a piece is gone, it is gone.

Limited Collection

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.

The Wealth Position

財位

Cái Wèi

The Wealth Position

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.

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.

The Dragon & Phoenix Union

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.

Dimensions & Materials

  • Diameter: 12.9cm | Height: 11.9cm | Capacity: 425ml
  • High-fired stoneware, hand-painted underglaze in cobalt and gold, matte weathered-stone finish

Customer video review of Gold Destiny Talisman (Special-Invitation Only)

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.

Customer photo review of Verdant Oath – Stone of Quiet Clarity

I just left a review for the Size 10, so this is the review for the Size 11, which I feel also works well with my finger; I just alternate the rings based on how drastic my finger size changes throughout a given day, and sometimes it's easier to fidget with the Size 11 to help with some physical grounding.

Verdant Oath – Stone of Quiet Clarity

Customer photo review of Verdant Oath – Stone of Quiet Clarity

I've been wanting this ring for months to essentially complete the Verdant Collection I had. Previously, I got the Verdant Eye necklace, followed by the Verdant Peace moss agate bracelet, and the final piece I wanted and needed was this Verdant Oath ring. I wanted to have these three pieces to imbue me with a grounded energy and also serve as supportive, grounding talismans for me as I continue my own journey and scholarship into esoteric Daoist mysticism. Having a set of three jewelery with the colors I feel most connected to feels like an "ultimate" reinforcement. Even with just this ring, when I'm feeling a bit out of place, I can fidget and rotate around the finger I wear it on to help with the grounding. And lastly, this ring is simply beautiful, the sizing is a bit tricky which is why I also bought another in Size 11 (I'm reviewing for the Size 10) so I have some extra flexibility when my finger goes through its different sizes for different days. Along with the blessing ritual all my pieces of jewelry were consecrated with by Xu Shifu, I also, every day, set my own intentions and put these pieces through my own blessings and intentions rituals.

Verdant Oath – Stone of Quiet Clarity

A very balancing and harmonious experience. The blessing I believe helps. Like people attract like people.

Customer video review of White Howlite "Founder's Dragon" Pixiu

I fell immediately in love with the White Howlite Founder's Dragon pixiu the moment I saw it. It felt that was an attractional pull towards it, and that I had to get one. After getting it, I felt some changes around me, and certain situation in life which have been stagnant for some time also started to progress.

White Howlite "Founder's Dragon" Pixiu

Store owner replied: Hi MS, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're grateful the White Howlite Founder's Dragon resonated with you from the very beginning. It's wonderful to hear that areas of your life that had felt stagnant are now beginning to move forward. We hope it continues to support you with clarity, steady progress, and new opportunities. 🙏✨ With blessings, Team FSMX

The bracelet is beautiful. I wear it all the time. However, I feel like my life is set in stone. There is nothing that can change the trajectory of it. Some goals and dreams are just that. Thanks for trying to give me good blessings.

Thank you so much Team FSMX, for this eBook. It has opened my mind to not depend so much on the Feng Shui tools in creating wealth for myself.
