A gold star, applied and polished by hand, adorns every item in the collection. On the plates, bowls and tea set, it’s individually integrated into the decor on the outside, while on the cups it’s on the inside, so you can still see it as you enjoy your drink. This decorative element is both a playful nod to gourmet cuisine and a testament to the artisanry with which each piece is individually handcrafted by Porzellanmanufaktur FÜRSTENBERG.

The decor is in a timeless blue-grey shade, and on each piece is bordered by two lines. “In my eyes, it has the flair of a fine trattoria that serves simple but surprisingly good fare and has a very personal, intimate atmosphere,” explains Michael. “Our porcelain invites people to enjoy a relaxed meal together. Bringing la dolce vita – or, as we also say, the good life – to your own home.”

The MY CHINA! Paraíso Blue collection comprises 35 cylindrical and coupe-shaped pieces. They are extremely fine, with a wall thickness of just 2.5 millimetres. Like the other MY CHINA! decors, it is dishwasher-safe and can be flexibly mixed and matched – for instance, with plain white or gold-patterned porcelain – thanks to the uniform diameters and dimensions.

SIEGER by FÜRSTENBERG’s MY CHINA! service, which is handcrafted in Germany, has enjoyed international success for almost 20 years. Today, it can be found in five-star hotels, restaurants, luxury yachts and many private homes around the world. MY CHINA! has won multiple awards, including a Chicago Athenaeum Good Design Award. From 2024, it will be available in a total of 11 different versions: pure white, seven decors – Paraíso Blue, Paraíso, Ca’ d’Oro, Wunderkammer, Treasure Gold, Treasure Platinum, Emperor’s Garden – and three variants of the Stella relief.
