COVERED BOWL SHAPE: ER CAI COVERED BOWL

The two-piece gaiwan is a classic Chinese teaware, consisting of a bowl and a lid, symbolizing the harmony of heaven and earth. It's simple, functional, and perfect for brewing various teas. This design allows precise control of steeping time, maintains tea temperature, and uses the lid to filter leaves, ensuring a clear brew. More convenient than the three-piece gaiwan, it embodies traditional Chinese tea culture while suiting modern life.

Cup Shape: Gourd-Shaped

The gourd cup, as the name suggests, is a cup shaped like a gourd. In Chinese culture, the gourd is not only a common plant but also widely used due to its unique shape and various cultural meanings. Cups shaped like gourds, especially in traditional contexts, are used not only for everyday drinking but are also often associated with symbols of health and longevity.

Teaware Pattern: lotus flower

The lotus flower in Chinese culture symbolizes purity and elegance, as it blooms splendidly in muddy waters without being tainted. It represents virtue and detachment from worldly concerns. Additionally, the lotus is a symbol of resilience and perseverance, thriving in harsh environments. It's also frequently used to signify poetry and zen, making it a popular theme in many literary and artistic works.

CRAFTSMANSHIP USED IN MAKING THE GAIWAN: FAMILLE ROSE

Famille Rose is a cherished tradition in Chinese porcelain decoration, known for its intricate craftsmanship and vivid colors. Using techniques involving multiple layers of glaze and firing, artisans apply colors like iron red, pink, and purple to create detailed patterns on porcelain surfaces. Each piece reflects meticulous carving and coloring skills, highlighting a deep understanding of color application. Beyond its artistic value, Famille Rose is a vital part of Chinese porcelain culture with rich cultural and historical significance.

MAKING PROCESS

Making the Clay Body: The process begins with forming the clay body, which is the unglazed porcelain base.
Initial Firing: The clay body is first fired at about 800°C to achieve a certain level of hardness.
Glazing: A layer of transparent or white glaze is applied to the clay body, which is then fired a second time at around 1200°C.
Painting: The painting is done on the surface of the glazed porcelain using specially formulated Famille Rose pigments. Artisans typically outline the design with ink before filling it in with color.
Low-Temperature Firing: The final step is a low-temperature firing at 700-800°C, which fixes the Famille Rose pigments onto the porcelain surface.
