This piece instantly became one of our favorite gaiwans.It’s rough clay, hand painted flowers, finger ridges from the thin throwing all make it both highly functional and incredibly pleasant to use.
It reminds us of a maker we saw out in Jingdezhen, this balance of artistry and inspiring new takes on old styles.However the price point is way too low to be from a famous maker’s studio.
This is a larger factory piece that was born of a streamline process, many different hands touched this piece to create what it is: an over-performer at an attractive price point.
If you’re interested in hand-painted teaware, or could use another subtle workhorse in your gaiwan lineup, this is an exceptional piece to pick up.
