Handmade Rustic Red Rough Clay Gaiwan

This Rustic Red Gaiwan is a beautifully crafted piece that embodies both tradition and artistry in tea session. Made from rough clay, the gaiwan features a smooth, rounded shape reminiscent of an UFO or a “Yuan Bao”—the traditional Chinese gold ingot—which symbolizes wealth and prosperity. The carefully sculpted form is both elegant and practical, making it a stunning centerpiece for any tea ceremony.

The gaiwan’s surface is enhanced by the Fen Yin technique, which brings out a deep, rustic red color that perfectly complements its organic shape. This rich hue, combined with the natural texture of the rough clay, evokes a strong, earthy connection, grounding the user in the simplicity and beauty of the natural world. The exterior’s unglazed finish allows the true character of the clay to shine, providing a tactile experience that is both raw and refined.

Inside, the gaiwan is lined with a white interior, a thoughtful design choice that serves both aesthetic and functional purposes. The white surface creates a striking contrast with the red exterior, but more importantly, it allows the tea drinker to fully appreciate the color of the brewed tea. This feature is essential for those who wish to observe the subtle changes in hue that different teas produce, adding an extra layer of sensory enjoyment to the tea experience.
