Authentic Jingdezhen Hand-Painted Fencai Interlocking Lotus Hovering Sancai Gaiwan Tea Bowl - 160ml
The ClayZenith Jingdezhen Fencai Interlocking Lotus Hovering Sancai Gaiwan (160ml) represents the pinnacle of Qing Dynasty imperial court enamel art. Hand-painted in Jingdezhen with delicate Fencai (Famille Rose) pastel interlocking lotus vines (Chanzhi Lian), this vessel features an engineered hover-resting lid for superior thermal control.
Fencai Pastel Enamel Artistry & Hovering Lid Ergonomics
Fired at 1,320°C (2,408°F) before pastel mineral enamels are hand-applied in an 820°C muffle firing. 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.
