Snow-Thin Gaiwan
High-white porcelain fired at 1300℃: a thin body, a light vessel. Each arc is finished by hand, leaving a small, natural difference. Touch the rim lightly and it gives a clear, brief ring. No ornament, only one line of Mulan orange. The vessel is light; the tea holds its weight.
Proportion, the feel in the hand, and a clean pour and stop — these are all we ask of tea ware. It makes no noise; set on the table, it simply passes each steep quietly into your hand.
Handmade light ceramic with a plain lid knob; a thin, light body that conducts heat gently.
A moderate weight with a steady centre; the rim of the gaiwan flares so the pour stays cool to the touch; the pair invites small, unhurried sips, made for every day.
Suited to Wuyi rock tea, Lapsang Souchong and every other kind of brewing; as a gift, it completes a tea set together with the boxed teas.
