This gaiwan, made of fine, high-fired porcelain, impresses with its calm, milky-white glaze and delicate floral hand-painted design.
The porcelain structure is dense and pure; impurities are thoroughly removed during the firing process, resulting in a particularly clear and slightly translucent material.
In Chinese aesthetics, this glaze is described as
"White as congealed jade, pure as freshly fallen snow" –
a soft, warm white tone that radiates calm and gives the tea space to unfold in its purest form.
This feeling of clarity and gentleness also gave rise to the term "Sweet White".
The Gaiwan is ideal for Gongfu-Cha, tastings, and daily tea enjoyment.
