Authentic Jingdezhen Underglaze Cobalt Fish & Algae Douli San Cai Gaiwan - 160ml Gongfu Tea Bowl
The ClayZenith Jingdezhen Cobalt Fish & Algae Douli San Cai Gaiwan (160ml) revives the classic Ming dynasty motif of swimming carp among waterweeds (*Yu Zao Wen*). Rendered in Song wide-rim cone hat (Douli) geometry, it prevents fingertip scalding while providing swift, clean decanting.
Underglaze Cobalt Inlay & Song Douli Anti-Scald Flare
Reduction fired at 1,320°C from refined Jingdezhen kaolin clay. The underglaze cobalt fish are sealed beneath a crystal-clear glaze, ensuring the artwork never fades. The wide-angled rim acts as a wide heat buffer that keeps holding points comfortable to touch.
