Shimen gaiwan

A celebration of wabi-sabi aesthetics, this rustic gaiwan embodies the beauty of simplicity and imperfection. The raw, earthy exterior showcases an unpolished surface, lending it a sense of authenticity and natural charm. Balanced by the soft beige hue of its glazed interior, it provides a tactile harmony that mirrors its duality: raw and refined.

The lid is crowned with a distinctive "stone gate" (石门, shi men) design, symbolizing durability and simplicity. This solid, grounded motif resonates with the gaiwan's earthy tones and flat, stable base. Perfect for traditional tea preparation, this piece will deepen your connection to the art of tea through its tactile appeal and timeless design.
