Flint Red Blue & White Butterfly & Lily Sancai Gaiwan - 160ml
The ClayZenith Flint Red Blue & White Butterfly & Lily Sancai Gaiwan (160ml) is an elegant Jingdezhen vessel depicting fluttering butterflies amidst blooming lily blossoms (Diewu Baihe). Combining delicate underglaze cobalt brushwork with the prized natural Huoshihong (Flint Red Iron Halo) along the unglazed base, this gaiwan celebrates nature's grace.
Material Science & Flint Red Reduction Alchemy
Fired in a reduction kiln at 1,320°C (2,408°F), the vitreous white porcelain provides complete non-porosity and pure aroma reflection. The natural terracotta-colored iron halo forming at the base foot adds authentic antique warmth while framing the cobalt floral brushwork.
Functional Brewing Mechanics & Anti-Scald Rim
