Yuni Jade Gaiwan 玉泥小圓三才蓋碗

Sale price$166.00 USD

This 3-piece gaiwan is an absolute masterpiece, fully hand-made by Jingdezhen artist Wu Ling. It is made with Yuni (“玉泥“) porcelain, a specialty clay from Jingdezhen that gives this gaiwan an almost jade-like trait when illuminated. Yuni’s dense structural integrity also means that it has great longevity and tea would not stain the porcelain. This particular size and shape were designated to be use in tea brewing competitions for oolong tea. 

The Holy Grail used during annual tea competitions in Wuyi mountain, this Gaiwan fulfills all desirable qualities to achieve perfect balanced infusion. The “inverted bell” shape (“倒钟形杯”) lets water tumble fully against its walls, encouraging tea leaves to unfold evenly throughout each brew. The architecture is thin at the rim and funnels down to a slightly thicker bottom, as such that the porcelain body would maintain its temperature while heat dissipates at the grip.
