A one-of-a-kind treasure that represents the pinnacle of Jingdezhen's porcelain craftsmanship, incorporating the original Gaolingtu clay 高岭土 materials and stringent firing requirements, completely hand-crafted and finished at a top Jingdezhen porcelain studio. The type of porcelain used in crafting this gaiwan is called Ying Qing Ci, the very best and authentic Jingdezhen porcelain, the very essence of Jingdezhen's thousand-year porcelain ware craftsmanship heritage and reputation. Gaolingtu clay is very fine and white clay, difficult to fire successfully, it is off white with a slightly blue undertone, and it exhibits the luminescence that is characteristic of the spectacular Jingdezhen porcelain. Gaolingtu clay is very scarce nowadays. Certainly, large volumes of low-quality Jingdezhen wares on the market don't incorporate Gaolingtu clay material.  Yingqing porcelain was the most desired teaware in Song dynasty, and referred to as the Jade of Porcelain. Historically Yingqing porcelain has four distinctive attributes: white like jade, thin like paper, reflective like a mirror, and sounds like a bell. This piece is truly unique and exclusive to our online store.  Fine porcelain can enhance the flavor of the tea and it will look shinier after a period of use. This gaiwan has an elegantly outward flare and is designed to have a wide rim for easy handling. It is suited for brewing any type of tea. Beautiful to behold and easy to use, this exclusive gaiwan will surely enrich your tea experience, and is a great investment for your tea ware collection.  Capacity: 160ml
