Unique Piece Wood-Fired Ash Glaze Gaiwan

A masterpiece born from the captivating dance of fire and ash, this gaiwan embodies the raw, untamed beauty of traditional wood-firing. Crafted using centuries-old techniques, it is a testament to nature’s artistry and the patience of human hands.

Ancient Wood-Firing Technique:
Unglazed and fired in a wood kiln, this gaiwan undergoes a prolonged naked firing process. As flames lick its surface, ash naturally settles and melts into the clay, creating a unique, unrepeatable glaze through kiln transformation. No two pieces are alike.  

Pine Wood & Mixed Hardwood Fuel:
Primarily fueled by aromatic pine wood, blended with other hardwoods, the kiln produces a kaleidoscope of rich, earthy hues—from amber to iron-gray—infusing each piece with depth and character.  

Jingdezhen Kaolin Clay Body:
Made from premium Jingdezhen white kaolin clay, the gaiwan features a thin, hand-built body that balances delicacy and durability. Its ergonomic shape ensures a comfortable grip, perfect for daily tea rituals.  

Crackled Crystalline Glaze:
The surface reveals subtle crackled textures, with the lid showcasing "tears of ash glaze"—natural crystalline patterns resembling scattered gemstones. These imperfections are not flaws but signatures of the kiln’s breath.  

Why It’s Special:
This gaiwan is a triad of harmony: the purity of kaolin clay, the fury of the kiln’s flames, and the serendipity of wind-guided ash. Each piece is a singular work of art, capturing a moment in time where chaos and control collide.
