About our collection

Step into the world of Yen Qin x Luzerne, a tableware collection that serves a bridge between worlds—melding east with west, and the past with the present.

The collection draws inspiration from the richness of Peranakan Chinese culture, where traditional Chinese opulence, Malay vibrancy, and European elegance converge into extraordinary, refined tableware—each piece balancing old-world grandeur with sleek, contemporary sophistication.

Designed by ceramic artist Yen Qin, and made by Singapore’s longest-established ceramics producer, Luzerne, the collection is handcrafted in Dehua—the birthplace of world-renowned Blanc de Chine porcelain—located in Yen Qin’s ancestral province of Fujian, China. Each piece is not only a testament to unparalleled craftsmanship, but also a deeply personal tribute, merging heritage and artistry into timeless tableware designed to endure.

More than just tableware, this collection is a celebration of diverse cultural traditions, reflecting the dynamic nature of our global heritage today. Invite a story of culture and heritage to your table, turning everyday meals into celebrations and gatherings into unforgettable experiences.

Handcrafted in World Porcelain City, Dehua

The history of porcelain in Dehua dates back thousands of years to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 C.E.) and was a major exporter during the Song Dynasty (960-1279 C.E.) and Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368 C.E.). It reached its peak during the Ming Dynasty, when it became renowned for its ivory white Blanc de Chine porcelain. Dehua has been conferred the status as World Porcelain City and in 2021, the kilns of Dehua were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List for their importance for medieval maritime trade and the exchange of cultures and ideas around the world.
