COVERED BOWL SHAPE: HORSESHOE-SHAPED COVERED BOWL

The horseshoe-shaped covered bowl, or "horseshoe gaiwan," blends aesthetic appeal with cultural symbolism in Chinese teaware. Traditionally seen as a symbol of luck and protection, its design is thought to bring good fortune to the tea experience. Prized in formal tea ceremonies, these bowls function both as effective brewing tools and as cherished cultural heirlooms.

Cup Shape: Arhat Cup

The Arhat cup, adorned with images of enlightened Buddhist saints, symbolizes spiritual purification and achievement. This cup is not only used for daily tea drinking but also in Buddhist rituals and tea ceremonies, where it facilitates meditation and inner peace. More than just teaware, the Arhat cup represents a commitment to spiritual growth and a purified mindset.

Teaware Pattern: Orchid and Stone

Orchids: In Chinese culture, orchids symbolize purity, elegance, and friendship. Known for their delicate fragrance, orchids are seen as emblems of a gentleman, representing noble character and a lofty spirit. They are also often used to symbolize the virtues and purity of love.

Stones: In traditional Chinese culture, stones represent resilience and eternity. Commonly used in garden design, they signify the power of nature and the passage of time. In artistic works, stones frequently symbolize stability and firmness.

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.
