Authentic Jingdezhen Wood-Fired Coarse Stoneware Lotus Pod & Playful Frog Gaiwan - 150ml Handcrafted Chaishao Tea Bowl

The ClayZenith Wood-Fired Lotus Pod & Frog Coarse Stoneware Gaiwan (150ml) is a soulful, tactile masterwork fired in a traditional wood-burning dragon kiln (Chaishao) for 72 continuous hours. Sculpted in an organic two-piece bowl-and-lid format, the lid takes the form of a mature lotus seed pod adorned with a sculpted, playful three-dimensional frog finial.

Natural Wood-Ash Glaze Alchemy (Chaishao)

Fired to 1,300°C (2,372°F) fueled solely by natural pine firewood, flying pine wood ash melts directly onto the raw coarse clay, forming spontaneous golden-amber ash drips and metallic kiln marks (Huoci). No two wood-fired vessels are identical, resulting in an unrepeatable wabi-sabi masterpiece.

Thermal Retention & Stewed Tea Optimization

The dense, coarse stoneware walls retain high thermal energy, making this vessel exceptionally suited for steeping and slowly stewing dark teas, aged Shou Puerh, Wuyi Rock Oolongs, and aged white teas.

Living Space Integration & Gifting

• Wabi-Sabi Tea Sanctuaries: Complements solid timber tables, bamboo mats, and raw stone tea trays.
• Sculptural Art Accent: Functions as an eye-catching organic sculpture on open shelving when not in active use.
• Artisanal Collector Gifting: An extraordinary gift for seasoned tea masters, wood-firing enthusiasts, and pottery collectors.

Feng Shui & Spatial Energy Balance

The Frog (Wa) is an ancient homophone and emblem for Welcoming Abundance and Attracting Wealth (Zhaocai), while the lotus pod filled with seeds represents Fruitful Offspring and Enduring Prosperity. Combined with natural Wood and Fire Energy, this vessel activates vibrant prosperity and lively domestic harmony.
