The ClayZenith Lustrous White Hand-Painted Heavenly Bamboo San Cai Gaiwan (160ml) celebrates the auspicious winter botanical Nandina (*Tianzhu*). Hand-painted in vibrant underglaze mineral pigments depicting scarlet berries, evergreen bamboo leaves, and scholar rocks over a warm white porcelain body, it provides serene pastoral elegance.
Lustrous White Kaolin Reduction & Underglaze Inlay
Fired in reduction kilns at 1,320°C from pure Jingdezhen kaolin. The mineral pigments are sealed beneath crystal-clear vitreous glaze, ensuring the artwork will never fade, scratch, or absorb tea tannins, while Song-style 38-degree flared rims prevent scalded fingers.
