In the world of tea, the gaiwan is undoubtedly the main brewing vessel on the tea table. It carries value far beyond practical functions. Just like an elegant scholar, it has a unique temperament and aesthetic. It is like the most eye-catching color on the tea mat. With its own strength, it can support the style of the entire tea mat. In this era of pursuit of quality, tea people pay more and more attention to the charm of tea ware while paying attention to its practical functions.
Today, Tongxin She Teahouse would like to recommend a particularly stunning "small矾 red poetry gaiwan" with a capacity of 60ml. This矾 red calligraphy gaiwan is full of ancient charm. For its creation, we waited for nearly two months.
This gaiwan has made great efforts in terms of clay materials from the very beginning. The production process draws on ancient methods and completely restores the old-fashioned handmade production mode, only to retain the fascinating ancient charm from the source. After repeated trials, finally selected raw ore kaolin as the raw material. Manually remove impurities, then beat it into small blocks, add water, and pound it with wood bit by bit until it is crushed into fine powder... The whole process is complex and time-consuming, but it is precisely because of this that it is endowed with a distinctive soul.
In the modern porcelain-making process in Jingdezhen, for the sake of efficiency, many links are replaced by machines. However, the charm contained in handmade products is something that machines can never match. Just like this gaiwan, it is very particular about details. Use hand trimming to fine-tune every detail and carefully adjust the thickness of each ware's body to make it even. This is a persistent pursuit of quality.
Looking at the body of this gaiwan again, it is decorated with handwritten tea poems. The font is elegant and full of literary flavor. In order to highlight the unique personality of calligraphy, white is directly piled on the basis of矾 red glaze for writing. The deep red矾 red glaze color serves as the background, setting off the white calligraphy font extremely elegantly and full of ancient charm. Moreover, the gaiwan is also wrapped with a copper rim, which adds a bit more ancient charm to it. When you have leisure time while drinking tea and gently read one or two lines of tea poems, that kind of interest will surely make you intoxicated, as if traveling through time and sharing a pot of tea with the ancients.
