A distinguished gaiwan with a striking cherry-red Langhong glaze and white rims. A handsome gift for any tea enthusiast.
The rare vibrant red color of this gaiwan’s glossy Langhong Kiln style glaze was originally developed during the Qing Dynasty. With a graduated ombré effect on each piece of the gaiwan, the color transitions from a transparent glaze around the white edges to a light ruby to a deep scarlet red where the glaze settles thickly as the pieces are fired.
The knob on the lid of the gaiwan is narrow, which allows you to comfortably fit your pointer finger in it as you pour from the gaiwan, while your thumb and middle finger rest on either side of the flared edges of the bowl. The walls of the gaiwan are relatively thin, which makes it versatile to use for any type of tea. We recommend steeping our Zijuan Hong (Purple Leaf Yunnan Black), Yue Guang Bai (White Moonlight), and Chuantong Tieguanyin (Traditional Tieguanyin) in it.
