In ancient times, ceramic pillows offered cool and stable rest during the summer months.

This Song Dynasty porcelain pillow from the Cizhou kiln features a lotus motif painted in green, yellow, and white. The design is vivid, and the lines flow with energy.

Cool to the touch and artistically crafted, the pillow provides both comfort and beauty, reflecting the Song aesthetic of quiet elegance and daily refinement.
