Dragon & Phoenix Enamel Sancai Gaiwan - 180ml

The ClayZenith Dragon & Phoenix Enamel Sancai Gaiwan (180ml) is a regal ceremonial vessel celebrating supreme harmony, longevity, and marital union. Handcrafted in Jingdezhen, this large gaiwan combines rich imperial court vermilion enamel with hand-painted gold contouring of the legendary Dragon (representing celestial strength) and Phoenix (representing grace and renewal).

Material Science & Imperial Enamel Artistry

Formed from refined kaolin clay and vitrified in high-fire reduction kilns at 1,320°C (2,408°F), this vessel provides a diamond-hard, completely non-porous body. Layered mineral enamels and 24K liquid gold accents are hand-painted onto the glaze before undergoing secondary muffle firing at 820°C, ensuring enduring vibrance and scratch-resistant longevity.

Functional Brewing Mechanics & Large Capacity

With an expansive 180ml volumetric capacity (150ml functional), this gaiwan is engineered for celebratory tea services:

• Large-Chamber Tea Expansion: Provides ample room for high-volume whole-leaf teas, such as vintage Puerh cakes and Phoenix Dancong Oolongs, to unfurl and release rich infusions.
• Thermal Insulation: The broad flared rim remains comfortable to the touch, facilitating fluid, burn-free decanting during high-temperature tea ceremonies.

Living Space Integration, Display & Versatile Uses

This ceremonial gaiwan is a magnificent addition across traditional and modern spaces:

• Wedding & Matrimonial Ceremonies: Serves as the quintessential traditional vessel for wedding tea ceremonies honoring parents and elders.
• Festive Family Banquets: Adds an aura of royal auspiciousness during Lunar New Year, milestone birthdays, and festive family reunions.
• Grand Ceremonial Gifting: The ultimate luxury gift for newlyweds, landmark anniversaries, and esteemed corporate mentors.

Feng Shui & Spatial Energy Balance

The union of the Dragon (Yang) and Phoenix (Yin) is the ultimate Feng Shui symbol of marital bliss, balanced partnership, and mutual prosperity. Displaying this vessel in the southwest (relationship) or living room sectors of a home activates harmonious romance, enduring loyalty, and auspicious household energy.
