Today, Tongxinshe Teahouse brings a pastel-painted "Swan Gaiwan and Teacup"
This set of covered bowls has two types of overglaze colors: colored glaze and pastel-painted. They are all painted by senior old painters in Jingdezhen. The lines of the hand-painted strokes are neat and stretched, and the colors are delicate and lively. The swan's feathers are white, the body is beautiful, the call is moving, and the behavior is loyal. In the Eastern and Western cultures of the Eurasian continent, the white swan is regarded as a symbol of purity, loyalty and nobility.
The open rim of the gaiwan allows fingertips to relax naturally, preventing fingers from slipping down and holding the bowl that stores water and heat, and also avoiding incorrect usage. The capacity of the gaiwan is 120ml, and the capacity of the teacup is 75ml.
