The Three-Talent Gaiwan (三才盖碗) represents the philosophical concept of “Heaven, Earth, and Man” in harmony — the lid, bowl, and saucer each bearing symbolic meaning. This piece reimagines the traditional design in Longquan celadon, merging ancient ritual with everyday tea moments. With smooth curves and balanced proportions, it invites contemplative brewing and mindful drinking.
Every gaiwan is wheel-thrown and shaped by seasoned artisans in Longquan. The unique Meizi Green glaze is derived from local mineral oxides, achieving its subtle hue through delicate kiln control. The piece’s symmetry and luster are hallmarks of high-fired celadon, reflecting centuries of refinement and innovation.
Handcrafted in Longquan, Zhejiang, this gaiwan is the result of generational expertise rooted in celadon traditions. From Song dynasty emperors to modern tea connoisseurs, Longquan celadon has served as both vessel and art. This bowl represents a living heritage, deeply tied to the Chinese philosophy of harmony through tea.
Rooted in Celestial Harmony and Ritual Tea Culture
This gaiwan is more than a tea vessel — it is a reflection of balance, serenity, and the timeless elegance of Chinese tea rituals. Its three-part structure recalls the Daoist triad and literati traditions of introspective tea drinking.
