A hand-painted blue and white lotus gaiwan from Jingdezhen, shaped in the upright Ma Ti form for quiet daily tea.
A Complete Three-Piece Gaiwan
Lid, bowl and saucer come together as one complete vessel for gongfu tea—made for brewing, observing the leaves and pouring with ease.
The Upright Line of the Ma Ti Form
A tall body, gently narrowed lower half and outward-flared rim give the Ma Ti silhouette its poised, upright presence.
One Lotus in a Field of White
A single blue lotus opens across the porcelain, surrounded by spare botanical strokes and generous white space.
Blue and White, at Home in the Present
Its restrained palette brings the calm of blue and white porcelain into modern interiors without feeling ornate or nostalgic.
Painted One Brushstroke at a Time
Look closely: shifts in line weight, turns of the brush and soft variations in blue reveal the hand behind the decoration.
A Composition That Continues Across the Gaiwan
Lotus and botanical strokes move from the domed lid to the bowl, creating one balanced composition whether the gaiwan is closed or opened.
Open the Bowl and See the Tea
The open form makes adding leaves simple and lets you watch them begin to unfurl before each infusion.
The Lid Guides the Pour
Adjust the gap between lid and bowl to hold back the leaves and guide the tea into a smooth, controlled pour.
Return to the Same Leaves
The gaiwan invites a sequence of short infusions, allowing the same leaves to open gradually and reveal new layers over time.
A Quiet Pause in the Day
Lift the lid, notice the leaves, and let a simple tea ritual create a slower moment in the day.
For a Quiet Session or a Shared Pour
Generous enough for one relaxed session and graceful enough to share across two small cups.
Made to Be Used, Worth Leaving in View
Functional at the tea table and quietly sculptural on a shelf, it brings the same calm presence to use and display.
Sized for Daily Gongfu Tea
Approx. 10 cm in diameter and 9.5 cm in total height, with an approximate capacity of 180 ml.
Made in Jingdezhen, China
A place where porcelain knowledge continues through everyday studio practice, close observation and attention to form.
The Rhythm of Work by Hand
Patient brushwork gives each painted line its own pace. Small variations are part of the natural character of hand-finished porcelain.
