Jianshui Pottery Cream Gaiwan - 195 ml
This handmade cream-grey* Jianshui gaiwan showcases exquisite craftsmanship with its ultra-thin walls and 195ml capacity. The unglazed, iron-rich clay excels at heat retention while maintaining a remarkably light feel. At 10cm diameter and 6.3cm height, 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 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.
*Please note the color is sort of a cross between cream and grey - neither pure cream or pure grey but a cross of the two.
