Lovely and well made Gaiwan. I mostly use it to make High Mountain Oolongs and enjoy the companionship between the three of us :)
Hong's work exudes a distinct perspective on beauty, which sets it apart from many generic Dehua finds.
(Fujian, China )
Dehua porcelain, also known as Blanc de Chine, is renowned for its luminous, creamy-white glaze and exceptional craftsmanship. Originating from Fujian, China, this porcelain has been prized for centuries, particularly in the realm of teaware. Its fine, dense clay allows for thin yet durable vessels, offering excellent heat retention while remaining smooth to the touch. The purity of Dehua porcelain enhances the clarity of teas, making it a favorite among tea connoisseurs who appreciate both aesthetic refinement and functional excellence.
Our gallery, studio, and tea space are a hub for experiencing and sharing the art of ceramics and tea.
Similar to the concept of “Utsuwa-galleries” in Japan, we are holding monthly exhibitions of unique ceramicists from Japan, China and Europe.
We also regularly host Workshops and Tea Experiences.
Aromatisch, süßlich, vollmundig über drei Aufgüsse.
Sehr schmackhaft im empfohlenen Einmalaufguss.
This matcha has small lumps but is really gentle.
I can't wait to try meiju.
Uneven,subtle glaze. The dented spots are particulary cool, since they adjust the cup very much to the hand. The combination of the white glaze with unglazed red clay parts reminds me positevly of 1970s aestetics.
We love the weight, the feel, the size - and how beautifully the katakuchi lends itself to pouring cool liquids as well as brewing hot tea...
My favorite tea 💚 you can drink in cold brew, warm infusion or sparkling tea
