Authentic Jingdezhen Hand-Painted Blue & White Blooming Floral Hovering Horseshoe Sancai Gaiwan Tea Bowl - 160ml
The ClayZenith Jingdezhen Blue & White Blooming Floral Hovering Horseshoe Sancai Gaiwan (160ml) is a classical vessel shaped in the stately Mati (Horseshoe Cup) silhouette with dense underglaze cobalt botanical blossoms (Fanhua). Equipped with an engineered hovering-lid rim design, this gaiwan provides superior heat dissipation and effortless tea leaf aeration.
Underglaze Cobalt Inlay & Hovering Lid Ergonomics
Fired at 1,320°C (2,408°F), the non-porous vitreous porcelain body provides complete flavor neutrality. The lid is precision-balanced to suspend tilted on the inner rim, venting steam and allowing whole tea leaves to breathe between infusions without setting wet lids on table surfaces.
