Introducing a Handmade Porcelain Gaiwan of Legendary Glaze

This handmade porcelain gaiwan pays homage to one of China’s most celebrated and ancient ceramic traditions: Longquan celadon. For over a millennium, this distinctive jade-green glaze has been synonymous with serene beauty and supreme artisan skill, now presented in a form designed for communal tea appreciation.

The Millennia-Old Secret of Longquan Celadon

The soul of this gaiwan is its iconic glaze, achieved through a precise alchemy of iron-rich clay and a reduction firing in the dragon kilns of Longquan. The result is not a simple green, but a spectrum of tranquil hues—from grayish-green to plum-blue—that seem to hold depth and light within, much like precious jade. This luxury ceramic finish, crackled with a fine “ice crackle” pattern, is the hallmark of an authentic Longquan celadon piece, a protected Chinese heritage craft.

A Grand Vessel for Communal Tea Ceremony

With its generous scale, this gaiwan redefines the Gongfu tea ritual for sharing and contemplation. It is engineered not for solitude, but for connection.

• Communal Capacity: 400ml is perfect for serving multiple guests, fostering conversation and shared appreciation over several rounds of tea.

• Commanding Proportions: 13cm mouth diameter and 13.2cm height create a substantial, dignified presence that commands attention at the head of the tea table.

• Ergonomic Design: Despite its size, the balanced weight and classic three-piece “San Cai” form ensure stable and graceful handling.
