$48.57

This 160ml three-piece gaiwan is made with underglaze decoration. It boasts an elegant hand-painted interlocking lotus pattern in red, blue and white, created entirely by experienced ceramic craftsmen. Fired at high temperatures, the ceramic body is dense and durable, with a smooth and delicate glaze surface. It does not absorb or transfer tea flavors, allowing the true character of your tea to shine through. The glaze also resists tea stains, making the gaiwan very easy to clean with just a warm water rinse after use.

Description
Additional information

Crafting this gaiwan involves an extremely demanding process. The combination of underglaze blue and underglaze red, along with the detailed pattern, places high demands on the craftsman’s skill and experience. Strict temperature control is a must during firing, as uneven kiln heat can lead to failed color development. Only craftsmen with more than ten years of professional experience are able to complete its production successfully.

Underglaze Decoration Technique

Underglaze decoration is a classic decorative craft in traditional Chinese ceramics, and a widely used technique for making high-end tea ware. The process involves painting designs on raw or bisque-fired ceramic bodies, covering them with a layer of clear glaze, and firing the pieces at a high temperature between 1200℃ and 1400℃ in a single firing. The colored patterns are permanently sealed beneath the glaze layer.

Gaiwans made with this technique have their patterns protected by the clear glaze. In daily use, the designs will not wear away, peel off or discolor from oxidation, and they can stay bright and vibrant for a long time.
