Authentic Jingdezhen Soda-Fired Snow Orchid San Cai Gaiwan - 160ml Artisanal Ceramic Tea Bowl
The ClayZenith Jingdezhen Soda-Fired Snow Orchid San Cai Gaiwan (160ml) is forged through the rare alchemy of atmospheric soda firing. Introduced into the kiln at peak temperature, vaporized soda reacts with kaolin clay to create an organic 'orange-peel' tactile texture and ethereal snow-orchid hues.
High-Heat Atmospheric Soda Vapor Glaze (1,300°C)
Fired at 1,300°C. The swirling soda vapor deposits natural sodium silicate flashes across the vessel, producing an unrepeatable wabi-sabi finish with zero toxic chemicals. The wide-flared bowl rim keeps holding fingers comfortably insulated from boiling heat.
