    Attention:

    • Kiln-fired glaze variations are often unpredictable and can result in a wide range of colours from a single firing.
    • The porosity of ceramics varies depending on the materials used, the recipe, the pressure applied, the duration of pressure, the thickness of the body, the firing temperature, and the duration of firing. Generally, the finer the porcelain, the smaller the pores, while the coarser the pottery, the larger the pores.
    • Since porcelain is made from clay, the amount of iron spots present in the clay varies depending on the mineral content of the soil. These iron spots are harmless and do not affect the use of the porcelain. Removing them would require the use of chemical materials, which can be damaging to high-quality porcelain.
    • Handmade products are not perfect, and each piece can have differences in size, shape, colour, and other aspects.

First, outlines are painted in underglaze cobalt blue and fired at high temperature. Then, overglaze enamels are applied to add colour before a second low-temperature firing. The result is a harmonious interplay of subdued blue and vibrant enamel tones, with rich layers and refined softness. Doucai is celebrated as a pinnacle of Chinese ceramic artistry, known for its elegance and depth.

    The Gaiwan’s lid, bowl, and saucer are proportioned with precision. The gently rounded rim is smooth to the touch and slightly flared to prevent burns, offering a pleasant handling experience. This Doucai Gaiwan is not only a functional teaware piece but also a collectible artwork steeped in cultural and aesthetic significance—ideal for daily tea sessions, refined tea tables, or as a meaningful gift.

    Whether enjoyed in solitary serenity or shared with friends, it brings a touch of poetic grace to each moment of tea.

    Hand Painted Yuan Sheng Lian Xi Gaiwan

    $456.99

    This Gaiwan is made in the style of the Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain, completely handmade and hand painted. The pattern of “一鹭莲科” or “一路连科” in Chinese culture is derived from the beautiful combination of the heron and lotus leaves. As “鹭” (heron) and “路” (path/road) have the same pronunciation, and “莲” (lotus) sounds like “连” (successive/continuous), the name “一路连科” is a play on words that conveys the beautiful meaning of the pattern. In ancient times, successive successful candidates in the imperial examinations were called “连科,” and “一路连科” is a good wish for students to have a smooth career path and achieve success step by step.

    For Yuan blue and white porcelain refers to the blue and white porcelain produced during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) in China. The Yuan dynasty was an important period in the history of Chinese porcelain and one of the peaks of Chinese porcelain art. As one of the representatives of that era, Yuan blue and white porcelain exhibited unique artistic styles and technical levels. The characteristic of Yuan blue and white is the use of cobalt blue pigment for painting, which is made of cobalt oxide. After firing, the colour is bright and rich, with extremely high decorative effect. Yuan blue and white porcelain has various shapes, thick and heavy, concise, and fluent lines, and stable and solemn shapes, all made exquisitely.

    The evolution of Yuan blue and white is based on the foundation of Tang and Song celadon. Firstly, the glaze colour was improved and innovated. Unique white glaze, eggshell glaze and blue-white glaze were invented to make the glaze crystal clear. Cobalt pigment was imported for glaze colouring. Or using the pigment made from domestic materials.

    The formation of tin spots on Yuan blue and white is due to the high content of iron elements in local parts of the blue pigment. After reaching saturation in the high-temperature glaze solution and cooling down, the iron elements in the supersaturated part start to precipitate. If the iron content of the blue pigment is higher and the cooling rate is appropriate, tin spots are more likely to appear on the surface of the ware.

    In addition to firing and materials, the formation of tin spots also involves the factor of glaze material. During the painting process, tin spots can also be formed due to the accumulation of blue pigment. Tin spots are more likely to appear on the surface of the ware at the intersections and the starting and ending points of brushstrokes. The formation of tin spots can be said to be a natural creation or an artificial decoration.

    While this Lian Sheng Yuan Xi Gaiwan retains the bold and rich coloration of classic Yuan blue and white porcelain, its tin-spot effect is relatively subtle, giving it a more delicate and refined appearance. The overall aesthetic is graceful and elegant, embodying a scholarly charm. Compared to the traditionally bold and unrestrained Yuan blue and white style, this piece leans towards a more understated and sophisticated aesthetic, blending classic heritage with a softer, more literary elegance. It brings a sense of warmth and refinement to any tea session, offering a harmonious balance between history and artistry.

  • Hand-Painted Fish and Waterweed Gaiwan with Incised DesignHand-Painted Fish and Waterweed Gaiwan with Incised Design

    Hand-Painted Fish and Waterweed Gaiwan with Incised Design

    $390.99

    This Yuan-style blue and white fish-and-waterweed gaiwan is crafted using traditional Jingdezhen underglaze blue techniques. The body is sturdy, with a well-balanced form that exudes classical elegance. On the outer surface, vivid hand-painted carp swim gracefully among waving aquatic plants. The composition is lively and natural—the fish scales are delicately rendered, and the water plants sway in dynamic rhythm, revealing the artist’s refined brushwork and artistic finesse.

    What sets this piece apart lies within: the interior of the gaiwan features an intricately incised design of fish and weeds, subtly hidden beneath the glaze. As light moves across the surface, the design gradually emerges like a submerged relief, as if the fish are gliding beneath the tea, adding a poetic and graceful charm to the tea experience.

    The special pattern of this teacup is fish and seaweed. Since ancient times, fish and seaweed motifs have been traditional decorative patterns in ceramics, representing auspiciousness and carrying rich cultural and aesthetic meanings. The homophonic association between fish and the Chinese word for “surplus” (yu) makes fish a symbol of abundance and wealth. Fish motifs are often used to convey the meaning of “abundance and surplus,” “prosperity year after year” (as the pronunciation of fish is similar to that of “surplus” in Chinese), and “auspicious celebrations and abundance.” The fish and seaweed motifs typically feature fish as the central element, with additional decorations such as water plants, forming a variety of decorative patterns. The depiction of four swimming fish in the artwork symbolizes the concept of “surplus in all four seasons,” representing a year-round surplus, which carries a highly positive connotation. Such motifs are not only favoured by the royal court but also beloved by people from all walks of life as auspicious decorations. The flexible composition, auspicious symbolism, and abundant variations of fish and seaweed motifs have made them timeless classics throughout different eras.

    • The porosity of ceramics varies depending on the materials used, the recipe, the pressure applied, the duration of pressure, the thickness of the body, the firing temperature, and the duration of firing. Generally, the finer the porcelain, the smaller the pores, while the coarser the pottery, the larger the pores.
    • Since porcelain is made from clay, the amount of iron spots present in the clay varies depending on the mineral content of the soil. These iron spots are harmless and do not affect the use of the porcelain. Removing them would require the use of chemical materials, which can be damaging to high-quality porcelain.
    • Handmade products are not perfect, and each piece can have differences in size, shape, colour, and other aspects.

The lotus possesses a sacred and pure temperament, being beautiful without being ostentatious and magnificent without being vulgar.

  • Hand Painted Enamel Butterfly Loves Flower GaiwanHand Painted Enamel Butterfly Loves Flower Gaiwan Out of Stock

    Hand Painted Enamel Butterfly Loves Flower Gaiwan

    $652.99

    This Gaiwan is handcrafted using the technique of Blue-and-white underglaze colour and enamel glazed painting. The design features a pattern of butterflies amid flowers, displaying rich and lifelike colours, creating a unique and charming ambiance.

    Blue and White Enamel is a distinctive porcelain decoration technique that combines the traditional methods of blue and white with enamel. It is a variation of the traditional Chinese porcelain production, blending the characteristics of blue and white with enamel, resulting in a captivating and unique decorative style.

    Blue and White refers to the technique of painting blue patterns on the porcelain surface. It originated during the Yuan dynasty but reached its peak during the Ming and Qing dynasties. This decorative method uses cobalt oxide blue pigments that fuse with the porcelain surface at high temperatures, ensuring the patterns’ durability.

    Enamel, on the other hand, is a decorative technique that involves transplanting the cloisonné enamel method onto a porcelain body as an overglaze colour decoration. Enamel decoration on porcelain, known as “Fàlángcǎi” in Chinese, entails painting colourful patterns on the porcelain surface and then firing it at high temperatures to fuse the colours with the porcelain, achieving a durable and splendid design. These patterns often feature exquisite themes such as flowers, birds, figures, and landscapes, reflecting the essence of traditional Chinese culture and art.

    The process of creating enamel decorations is extremely intricate and complex, requiring skilled and experienced craftsmen. First, the porcelain prototype is made, and then special mineral pigments are used to paint patterns on its surface. Once the painting is completed, a series of firing processes follow, during which the temperature and timing for both the porcelain and the enamel colours are crucial factors. Improper temperature or timing can result in cracks in the porcelain or unstable colours. Enamel decoration is considered a treasure in traditional Chinese craftsmanship, representing the wisdom and skills of ancient Chinese artisans.

    The combination of blue and white enamel unites these two techniques, typically starting with the blue and white technique to depict blue patterns, and then applying enamel decoration to add additional colours and enhance the visual effect and three-dimensional sense of the design. This decorative method enriches the patterns on the porcelain while preserving the distinctive features of both blue and white and enamel techniques. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, blue and white enamel reached its peak and became one of the main styles for porcelain decoration at that time.

    The design of this Gaiwan showcases lifelike patterns of butterflies amid flowers. “Butterflies in Love with Flowers” symbolizes sweet love and blissful marriage. In recent times, people have endowed this motif with more profound meanings, expressing good wishes and symbolizing beautiful and prosperous love. Butterflies are often seen as symbols of happiness and love, inspiring and captivating people’s imagination, and aspirations. In traditional Chinese literature, a pair of flying butterflies represents the pursuit of free and passionate love. Butterflies are loyal to their mates, having only one partner throughout their lives, making them a symbol of fidelity in the insect world. Moreover, there is a beautiful Chinese folktale known as “The Butterfly Lovers,” which further enhances the symbolism of sweet love and harmonious marriage associated with the motif of butterflies and flowers.

    This enamel-decorated Gaiwan displays a rich and colourful palette, with lively and dynamic brushstrokes, immersing people in an elegant artistic ambiance while enjoying their tea.

The pattern on the lid features a classic design of intertwining lotus branches (known as Chanzhi Lian), while the pattern on the body of Gaiwan showcases the traditional Chinese twin lotus motif. The design of the tall style with an outward-flared mouth extends the curvature of the Gaiwan, making it less likely to scald one’s hand during use. The short style, on the other hand, is delicate and compact, with a thicker body, suitable for tea drinkers with smaller hands.

    In ancient China, the twin lotus due to its symbolic meaning is regarded as the gentleman among flowers. It represents the finest specimen among lotus flowers and symbolises a harmonious and everlasting union. The twin lotus, with one stem and two blooms, epitomizes the notion of unity, shared roots, shared blessings, and shared existence. Besides that, in ancient literary works, the twin lotus is acclaimed as a symbol of love, conveying the message of marital harmony, happiness, and representing the tender affection between lovers. It is also associated with deep brotherly love, signifying profound emotional bonds between siblings. In folklore, the appearance of twin lotus is considered an auspicious sign of good fortune.

    In addition, the beautiful tin spots on the porcelain add even more unique charm to it. The formation of tin spots is due to the high content of iron elements in local parts of the blue pigment. After reaching saturation in the high-temperature glaze solution and cooling down, the iron elements in the supersaturated part start to precipitate. If the iron content of the blue pigment is higher and the cooling rate is appropriate, tin spots are more likely to appear on the surface of the ware.

    In addition to firing and materials, the formation of tin spots also involves the factor of glaze material. During the painting process, tin spots can also be formed due to the accumulation of blue pigment. Tin spots are more likely to appear on the surface of the ware at the intersections and the starting and ending points of brushstrokes. The formation of tin spots can be said to be a natural creation or an artificial decoration. This tin glazes not only add a rustic texture to the Gaiwan but also imbue it with a unique sense of history.

    The delicate brushstrokes and intricate detailing of the painting on this Gaiwan create a distinct sense of aesthetic appeal. The soft and elegant shade of underglaze blue, along with a hint of faint tin glaze, gives it a graceful and ethereal beauty under the light. This Gaiwan exudes a simple yet elegant charm, reminiscent of the style of imitation Ming, making it truly captivating and irresistible.
