Product story

The lotus has long been a symbol of purity and quiet strength in Chinese culture—rising through murky waters to bloom unsullied. This blue lotus gaiwan pays tribute to that legacy, with its delicate hand-painted petals floating across smooth white porcelain. The underglaze technique ensures the artwork stays crisp and vibrant with time and use. Crafted in Jingdezhen, a city famed for its centuries-old porcelain tradition, each piece is the result of expert brushwork and high-temperature firing. This gaiwan isn’t merely a teaware item—it’s a daily reminder to brew with clarity and presence.
