About Craftmanship
San‑Lan Embroidery is a classic gradient embroidery technique inherited from Qing‑dynasty Su embroidery. It adopts multi‑shade blue silk threads to simulate the layered tone of ancient Chinese blue‑and‑white porcelain, replacing traditional painted brushwork with delicate hand stitching.
The term “San” does not represent fixed three colors, but symbolizes rich and diverse blue gradients ranging from deep navy, royal blue to soft sky blue and moonlight blue. Combined with traditional embroidery techniques including satin stitch, layered stitch and seed stitch, the embroidery presents three‑dimensional relief texture, vivid floral details and elegant restrained aesthetics.
Originated from folk craftsmanship and later collected by royal artisans, San‑Lan Embroidery has always been admired for its fresh, gentle and elegant oriental artistic temperament.
