Authentic Blue & White 24K Gilded Horseshoe San Cai Gaiwan - 160ml Gift Box Suite
The ClayZenith Blue & White 24K Gilded Horseshoe San Cai Gaiwan (160ml) captures the iconic Ming Dynasty 'Horseshoe' profile (Mati Wan). Hand-painted in deep underglaze cobalt with kiln-fused 24K liquid gold rim gilding, it prevents fingertip burns while commanding imperial majesty.
Underglaze Cobalt Reduction & 24K Kiln-Fused Liquid Gold
Fired in reduction kilns at 1,320°C, followed by secondary muffle gilding at 800°C. The horseshoe profile features an upright lower bowl that concentrates steeping heat, while the outward flared lip rapidly dissipates surface temperature.
Living Space Integration & Multi-Purpose Uses
- Whole-Leaf Fragrance Steeping: Optimal for high-mountain oolongs, Dragon Well green tea, and floral white teas.
- Anti-Scald Ergonomic Pouring: Flared lip and elevated lid button provide secure finger placement away from boiling steam.
- Imperial Celebration Gifting: Packaged in an archival silk-lined presentation vault with satin ribbon.
Feng Shui & Spatial Energy Balance
