While brewing old tree yellow tea, the large size of the leaves calls for a wide-opening gaiwan that allows them to unfurl fully. Xiaoye’s gaiwan offers exactly this, featuring a deep black tone with a wood-ash glaze applied to the interior. Its surface is richly textured, carrying the raw, tactile quality of handcraft. The lid’s small, upright knob reveals the artist’s distinctive hand-built touch. The bowl opens gently upward, and the overall finish is subtle, showing the metallic reflections and traces of kiln variation under the light. The piece gives a quiet and refined character, which is suitable both for display and for daily tea preparation.
Material: Coarse Stoneware Clay, blended with sand
Technique: Wheel Thrown, Electric Kiln
