This beautiful piece from Peng Yuan Qing Hua studio is inspired by Kangxi-era famille rose style porcelain,which leaned heavily on light pinks, floral patterns and enamel overlay. The soft, almost liquid feeling of the lotus is achieved through old school vitrified enamel overglaze, where glass is ground up and mixed with pigments and re-fired to build up layering.

In a nod to modern gongfu style, this gaiwan is saucerless since so many gongfu setups include a tea boat, tea board or unique saucer in their set ups.

The porcelain is high fired to make it non reactive, perfect for reflecting true aromas of any tea.
