平安: PingAn "Sound and Safe"
When I was a child, I often played hide-and-seek in the temple. When I got thirsty from playing, I would drink the temple's "PingAn tea, 平安茶"  As I grew older, the word "PingAn" became firmly imprinted in my heart. This series of gaiwan stamped with a 平安 seal carries this blessing into daily tea rituals, turning each sip into a moment of mindfulness and well-being. It’s a lovely way to infuse tradition with care, reminding the drinker of harmony and safety with every use.  May this Gaiwan series bring sound and safe energy to all who cherish it: a perfect blend of artistry, culture, and heartfelt intention.

Love the profile. Superb craftsmanship.

Love the wide profile. The craftsmanship is superb. Lid fits perfectly such that it vacuum seals and I can lift the gaiwan by the lid knob. Comfortable shape and knob. Perfect thin rim that stays cool to the touch.

I like that I can use the spout for the "slow flow" technique or use it like a gaiwan and pour as fast as I like.

I'm still uncertain about the clay. I have used it about 10 times so far and it's still a little muting compared to my zhuni pot. The brews are still really nice though and texture and aftertaste are coming through really pleasantly. Going to see how it develops with more use, but the zhuni pot is still going to be my primary vessel.

Contemporary Singaporian Ceramics

Contemporary ceramics in Singapore reflect a young but growing scene shaped by diverse cultural influences and personal expression. Many artists come from self-taught or non-linear paths, often blending traditional techniques with modern narratives. The focus is less on historic schools or regional styles and more on individual stories, material exploration, and functionality. Teaware plays a strong role, often tied to the city’s vibrant tea community and appreciation for handmade objects.
