The beauty of tea ware lies in its form, craftsmanship, and, more importantly, its connection with landscapes and humanities. Today, Tongxin She Teahouse is delighted to present a collection of blue and white landscape poem gaiwans. With hand-painted blue and white patterns depicting natural charm and Yuan Dynasty poems inscribed on the lid edge, these limited-edition pieces invite you to savor the leisurely mood of "being among white clouds".
This gaiwan is based on a classic shape, with a caliber of 8.5cm, a height of 7.3cm, a full capacity of 135ml, and a lid edge capacity of 95ml. It is suitable for both solo sipping and sharing tea among a small group of friends. The body is as温润 as jade, and the glaze is as clear as water. The most charming part is the hand-painted blue and white patterns on the bowl body—distant mountains are dyed indigo, nearby waters are veiled in mist, and a lonely boat is faintly visible among swirling white clouds. The brushstrokes are delicate yet unforced, as if a long ink-wash painting is condensed into this small space. Just looking at it makes the summer heat fade away, and the heart yearns for tranquility.
On the lid of the bowl, the famous lines from Huang Jin's Inscription on Ma Xuzhong's Painting of the Yuan Dynasty are written in blue and white meticulous brushwork: "People are among white clouds, boats are in the winding clear streams." The handwriting is elegant and graceful, forming a delightful contrast with the landscape patterns. Reading these lines and then watching the tea soup swirl in the bowl, one feels as if immersed in the poetic scene: there is no need to hear the "ai nai" sound of oars; just looking at this sea of green and the surrounding cloud-like atmosphere, one understands what is meant by "stealing a moment of leisure in a busy life".
Hand-painted blue and white works are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and each piece has slight differences, making it a unique "one-of-a-kind" for you. Whether used daily on your desk, accompanying you with landscapes and poems every day, or given to like-minded friends to convey the elegance of "understanding the heart through tea", it is an exceptional choice full of sincere intentions.
The blue and white landscape poem gaiwan at Tongxin She Teahouse has been officially launched, and the limited seats are quickly filling up. May this vessel of landscapes and half a cup of poems accompany you in the curling tea smoke, helping you retrieve the freedom hidden among white clouds and clear streams.
