Product Description

This extraordinary handmade Gaiwan from Jingdezhen is a true work of art that goes far beyond ordinary tea ceramics. The radiant Lang-Yao kiln glaze in deep “Chinese Red,” crowned by a softly glowing snow-white rim, belongs to the rarest and most technically demanding glaze traditions in Chinese porcelain history.

Fired in a traditional pine wood kiln (Songmu Chai Yao), each piece emerges through precisely controlled temperature fluctuations that only a few highly experienced masters are capable of mastering. The result is a Gaiwan with a living “fire signature,” subtle color transitions, and an individual character that can never be replicated.

The elegant “Jade Orchid” form rests naturally in the hand, while its yuanbao-inspired silhouette (ancient Chinese ingots symbolizing fortune) transforms the Gaiwan into a symbol of prosperity, harmony, and refined beauty.

This Gaiwan is not merely a vessel — it is a collector’s piece for connoisseurs, an expression of exceptional craftsmanship, and a companion for those who approach tea with intention, awareness, and style.
