This dream-like, abstract hand-painted porcelain tea bowl from Peng Yuan Qing Hua studio shows off their masterful, gestural painting skills and the depth of color contrast they achieve between lustrous white porcelain and traditional blue glaze.

Their inspiration point was the enveloping feeling of the aromatic steam that rises from the tea set and catches the light in misty waves. Their high-fired, highly-vitrified porcelain is completely non-reactive and perfect to show off a true sense of any tea.

The bowl is inset with a cover that allows water to drain below, making this perfect to set a small teapot or cup on top of for gongfu ceremony, or to pour out a wash and catch the leaves while draining the water.
