We are excited to present Peng Hua Qing Yuan studio’s revival of Dehua’s most famous and classical style - milk white, also known as Blanc de Chine or “China White.”

This unique, almost glowing milky glaze is achieved through a fusion of glaze and body, and the introduction of iron oxide for an oxidative firing environment, different from modern reductive kiln firing. This milky style was made famous in statues of Guanyin fired in Dehua’s ancient kilns, a style that looks like white jade, but with a thinness, luster and glow only possible in fine porcelain.

The gaiwan is incredibly thin. Hold it up to a window, and you can see the tea right through it!
