Jianshui Pottery Black Gaiwan - 155 ml
This handmade black Jianshui gaiwan showcases exquisite craftsmanship with its ultra-thin walls and approximately 155ml capacity. The unglazed, iron-rich clay excels at heat retention while maintaining a remarkably light feel. At 9.8cm diameter and 6.2cm height (without the lid), it strikes an elegant balance between form and function.
Made in Jianshui County, Yunnan, this gaiwan represents a 900-year pottery tradition now recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of China. The local clay is known for its density and purity, creating vessels of distinct character. Each piece varies slightly, telling the story of its handmade origins, and comes housed in a snug, custom-fitted box.
While its delicate nature calls for experienced handling, this gaiwan offers a refined tea experience that honors the rich heritage of Chinese tea culture.
