A Vessel Left Open for Life

Rather than creating a complete gourd, Heinrich Wang deliberately preserved only half of its form.

The missing half is not absent.

It is reserved for fruit, flowers, conversations, and the people who gather around it.

Only then does the piece become whole.

Made Whole reminds us that meaningful objects are never finished inside the kiln—they continue to evolve through the lives they accompany.

Design Details

Half a Gourd, Endless Possibilities

Inspired by the traditional symbolism of the gourd—a sign of blessing, abundance, and prosperity—the bowl transforms this familiar cultural image into a contemporary minimalist form.

Its generous open surface naturally welcomes seasonal fruit, floral arrangements, or both together.

A Fruit Bowl and Flower Vase in One

The spherical side vessel can hold water for a single flower stem, while the larger bowl displays fruit, pastries, or seasonal offerings.

Together, they create an ever-changing composition shaped by the seasons and by the people who use it.

Minimal Form, Maximum Meaning

Every empty space is intentional.

The bowl is never meant to look complete on its own.

Its beauty emerges only through participation.

Product Detail

Design Concept

Craftsmanship

Large-Scale White Porcelain with Exceptional Precision

At nearly 50 cm wide, Made Whole is among NewChi's largest porcelain vessels.

Its scale presents extraordinary challenges throughout molding, drying, firing, and handling.

Simplicity Demands Mastery

The extended side vessel places uneven tension on the porcelain body, making deformation and cracking common during firing.

The connection between the spherical vessel and the bowl requires exceptional precision, while maintaining the smooth curvature of the rim demands years of craftsmanship and repeated refinement.

What appears effortless is, in fact, one of the most technically demanding forms in white porcelain.

Occasions or Usage

Everyday Living

Display seasonal fruit to celebrate the changing rhythms of nature.

Floral Arrangement

Insert a single bloom into the side vessel to create a sculptural dialogue between flowers and fruit.

Interior Styling

Even when empty, Made Whole functions as a contemporary porcelain sculpture that brings calm and openness into a space.

Meaningful Gifting

An ideal gift for housewarmings, weddings, anniversaries, business openings, or anyone beginning a new chapter in life.

Discover More Heinrich's Design Note

Why is only half of the gourd shown?

The unfinished form is intentional.

Heinrich Wang believes an object becomes complete only through human participation. Fruit, flowers, shared meals, and everyday memories complete the missing half.

What does the gourd symbolize?

In Eastern culture, the gourd represents blessings, prosperity, and abundance.

Made Whole reinterprets this timeless symbol through contemporary white porcelain, bringing traditional meaning into modern living.

Is Made Whole a fruit bowl or a flower vase?

Both.

The larger bowl is designed for fruit, desserts, or seasonal displays, while the smaller spherical vessel can hold water for a single flower stem, allowing flowers and fruit to become part of one unified composition.

Gift Wrapping

Each NewChi Porcelain piece comes with an elegantly designed gift box.

From the moment it is opened, it conveys your thoughtfulness and refined taste.

Whether it’s a housewarming gift, a wedding present, or a gesture of appreciation for someone important, it expresses warmth and emotion beyond words.
