STORY

The octagonal star motif distills an image of Bagui, a poetic name for Guangxi. In the supplied cultural account, “eight” echoes the eight cassia trees described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and signifies flourishing life. The star also draws on Zhuang solar symbolism—light spreading outward and nourishing all things. Diamond fields suggest mountain ridges and cultivated land. Together they form a composition of four directions held steady and eight directions growing abundant: a compact visual wish for stability, fertility, and prosperity.

Materials
Ceramic + cork
Dimensions
Approx. Ø 10 × 0.7 cm / Ø 3.94 × 0.28 in
Craft
Supported firing
Motif
Eight-point star with geometric diamond fields
A round ceramic coaster translates the visual rhythm of Zhuang brocade into a substantial tabletop object. Its indigo face centres an eight-point star inside geometric diamond borders, while a rounded white ceramic edge reveals the depth created through supported firing. A natural cork backing completes the two-material construction and gives the underside a warmer, grounded finish. At approximately 10 centimetres in diameter and 7 millimetres thick, it is compact enough for daily use while retaining the presence of a small decorative object.
