Jingdezhen Artisan Yingqing White Porcelain Gaiwan Tea Set Engraved Landscape
This exquisite gaiwan set is handcrafted by a renowned studio in Jingdezhen, the legendary capital of porcelain. Made from the region's celebrated local clay, it exemplifies the finest traditions of Chinese ceramic artistry.
The set showcases a timeless painting style—distant mountain landscapes, a motif deeply rooted in traditional Chinese art, poetry, and philosophy. Every angle of the gaiwan reveals an intricate micro-carved scene: misty mountains and flowing water, scattered homes and trees, a half moon hanging in the sky, and a solitary figure crossing a bridge. At the base, a man guides a boat toward the water's edge, while the lid is adorned with stylized cloud carvings, symbolizing the heavens above.
Together, the three components of the gaiwan—bowl, lid, and saucer—depict a poetic narrative of harmony between man and nature, reflecting ancient Chinese philosophical ideals of serenity and balance.
Crafted in the distinctive Ying Qing Ci style, this porcelain is known for its soft off-white hue and silky translucence, made from authentic high-quality clay. The gaiwan features a wide open mouth—referred to as "Buddha’s Belly"—ideal for accommodating large tea leaves and allowing them to unfurl fully for optimal flavor extraction. The broad rim ensures a comfortable grip, making it easy to handle and pour with precision.
The matching pitcher and teacups are carved with the same ethereal mountain landscape, wrapping around each piece in a seamless, flowing composition.
A true work of art, this tea set is not only visually stunning but also enhances your tea ritual with elegance and meaning. A treasured addition to any collection, and a timeless investment in your tea journey.
