Looking like they were forged in the heart of Mordor... and much the same... the formula for these is a secret.
Each of these pieces are handmade and wood fired so there will be natural variations with the pattern and movement from the fire in the kiln.

In this case, since it is a smooth body porcelain some of these gaiwans have small bumps on the inside base of the bowl where ash from the wood-fired kiln fell and fused into the gaiwan. While this natural phenomenon makes each piece absolutely unique, Yue Chao deems this as a second.

Love the look of this gaiwan. Surprisingly the lid feels heavier than I was expecting and it seats in with a satisfying thud-like manner. I really like that. Usually cheaper gaiwans, everything is light and dainty. This gaiwan is a set up from that
