Crafted By Yi Xuan
This stunning hand-built, wood-fired gaiwan is from artist Yi Xuan’s personal collection.
This piece came out of her kiln with natural swirling iridescence, an artifact of the extreme heat of her multi-day firing process that gets so hot, she has to build her work from a special hand-blended porcelain mix instead of traditional clay which would otherwise break apart in the kiln.
This gaiwan is not glazed - its color comes entirely from iron-oxide elements present in her porcelain reacting to the heat of the firing. This piece incredibly thin and light, a true pleasure to hold in the hand.
Note: this piece is entirely one-of-a-kind. The pictures you see are this exact gaiwan, which is unlike any other that comes out of Yi Xuan’s kiln.
