This thin lustrous gaiwan shows off the implements of an ancient scholar’s studio, complete with tea tools, and natural objects of contemplation. The scene is a reminder of tea culture’s long–spanning history and the roots of modern gongfu. The red-orange accents show off the lovely bright-white porcelain, perfect for amplifying the color and aromatics of your tea.

Note: The detailed and intricate patterning work on this gaiwan was achieved with the help of modern printing instead of hand painting. While the original design was hand-painted, the scene on the gaiwan is printed and fired on to achieve consistent detail and keep each piece affordable.
