Authentic Jingdezhen Handcrafted Shino Ware 24K Gold-Gilded Two-Piece Gaiwan Tea Bowl - 160ml
Authentic Jingdezhen Handcrafted Shino Ware 24K Gold-Gilded Two-Piece Gaiwan Tea Bowl - 160ml
The ClayZenith Jingdezhen Shino Ware Gilded Two-Piece Gaiwan (160ml) is a tactile brewing vessel (Liangcai Gaiwan) uniting thick feldspathic glaze chemistry (Zhinoshao) with hand-painted 24-karat liquid gold rim linings. Handcrafted in Jingdezhen, this two-piece bowl-and-lid architecture offers simplified wabi-sabi handling and superior thermal mass.
Thick Feldspar Snow Glaze & 24K Gold Gilding
Fired in a slow reduction kiln at 1,280°C (2,336°F), the thick natural feldspar glaze bubbles and pools into a milky white surface with subtle iron pinholes (Citong) and fire-flashed orange blushes. Hand-painted 24K gold on the rim is fused permanently in a secondary muffle firing, creating a noble metallic frame.
Functional Brewing Mechanics & Two-Piece Ergonomics
- Simplified Handling: Eliminates the saucer foot, allowing direct, intuitive bowl grasping with a flared rim.
- Aroma Capture Dome: Parabolic lid traps volatile floral and roasted esters for sensory evaluation.
- Thermal Heat Retention: Thick feldspathic body maintains optimal water temperature for whole-leaf Oolongs and aged Puerh.
Living Space Integration & Gifting
- Wabi-Sabi Tea Table Centerpiece: Tactile milky glaze and shimmering gold rim elevate the tea master's setup.
- Mindful Study Savoring: Ideal for solo meditation sessions or entertaining 2 to 4 guests.
- Prestige Connoisseur Gifting: Presented in a silk brocade gift vault, ideal for tea masters, scholars, and collectors.
Feng Shui & Spatial Energy Balance
The Shino Feldspar Glaze (Earth) and Pure Gold (Metal) create a grounding generative cycle. In Feng Shui spatial arrangement, this vessel anchors personal authority, emotional stability, and prosperous domestic chi.
