Combining the serene sky-after-rain glaze with the poetic Xiangyun Diewu (Auspicious Clouds & Dancing Butterflies) motif. it features an innovative Floating design for a high-end. anti-scald tea-drinking experience.

The Art of Song Dynasty Ru Ware

• Iconic Azure Glaze: The ceramic is finished with a glaze that mimics the azure as the sky after rain characteristic of Ru Ware. It is thick. lustrous. and has a jade-like warmth that is incredibly satisfying to hold.

• Cicada-Wing Crackle (Kāipiàn): True to the tradition. a delicate network of fine cracks covers the surface. As you use the Gaiwan. the tea oils will nourish these lines. creating a beautiful. personalized pattern over time.

Poetic Motif: Xiangyun Diewu

• Auspicious Clouds : Representing good fortune and celestial harmony. the cloud motifs are rendered with fluid. graceful lines.

• Dancing Butterflies: The butterfly symbolizes freedom. joy. and the beauty of life. Together. the clouds and butterflies create a scene of peaceful movement and Zen elegance on your tea table.

Innovative Floating & Anti-Scald Design

• Floating Lid Technology: The lid is specially engineered to hover or sit securely at a precise angle on the bowl's rim. This structural innovation provides:

  • Superior Grip: The lid stays stable during the pour. preventing it from sliding off.

  • Effective Heat Dissipation: The unique seat of the lid allows steam to vent more efficiently. keeping the flared rim cooler to the touch.

• Physical Anti-Scald: Combined with a wide. flared rim. this design creates a physical distance between the hot tea and your fingers. solving the common hot fingers problem of traditional Gaiwans.

Functional Excellence

• Sancai (Three Talents) Ritual: Comprising the Lid (Heaven). Bowl (Man). and Saucer (Earth). it respects the traditional Chinese tea philosophy while offering modern ease of use.

• Premium Thermal Stability: The high-quality ceramic retains heat effectively for optimal tea extraction but remains comfortable to handle. making it perfect for brewing Oolong. Pu-erh. or delicate Green teas.
