This stylized De Hua gaiwan features a wide saucer and brings in both wood and metal elements in the gaiwan lid handle and base, reflecting the innovative spirit of one of China’s oldest porcelain capitals. The stoneware style glazing is uncommon for Dehua, which is more famous for stark white porcelain. NOTE that while this gaiwan required hand finishing and glazing, the decorative crane is NOT hand-painted, a choice of the workshop to make this a surprisingly affordable piece for such a unique design.
