Longquan Celadon Crackle Gaiwan — 150 ml
Description
Longquan celadon is one of China's great kiln traditions, prized for eight centuries — and its crackle glazes are the most storied of all: a fine web of lines, 'gold wire and iron thread', that opens in the kiln and then slowly stains with tea, the way Yixing clay does. No two gaiwans crackle alike, and yours will keep changing with every session you brew in it.
A gaiwan is the original gongfu brewer — leaves, water, lid — and at about 150 ml this one is sized for solo sessions and small tastings.
- Longquan-style celadon porcelain with a natural crackle glaze
- The crackle stains gently with tea over time — the piece records your practice
- Approx. 150 ml — a personal brewing size
- Lid, bowl and saucer — the complete three-part gaiwan
- Six celadon finishes — choose yours from the photos
Care: rinse with hot water, hand wash, and avoid sudden temperature shocks. The crackle is in the glaze itself, not a surface print.
Please note: crackle patterns form in the kiln and vary from piece to piece — the pattern on yours is the only one of its kind.
