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.
