Franz Collection “Moth Orchid” May Wei Xuet-Mei 3D Relief

Where Porcelain Becomes Petal

Few names in contemporary decorative porcelain command the reverence of Franz Collection, and this “Moth Orchid” vase — designed by celebrated artist May Wei Xuet-Mei — stands as one of the collection’s most breathtaking expressions. Hand-sculpted in three-dimensional relief and finished in high-gloss glaze, the Phalaenopsis orchid blooms emerge from the surface of the vase with an almost impossible naturalism — petals curling, stems arching, the whole composition alive with botanical precision.

At 28cm tall, the tapered baluster form provides an elegant canvas for the sculptural work, the rich palette of red, green, white, and yellow playing against the luminous glaze with extraordinary depth. Each piece is hand-painted and bears the artist’s signature stamp — a mark of authenticity and individual craft that elevates this beyond mere decorative object into the realm of wearable art for the home.

Model FZ00076. An original piece, not a reproduction. A rare find for serious collectors of Franz Collection and contemporary studio porcelain.
