Shino-Style Gilded "Green Grain" Two-Piece Gaiwan

This Gaiwan is a sophisticated fusion of "Wabi-Sabi" aesthetics and refined luxury. By combining the rustic, textured charm of Shino-ware with delicate gilded accents, it creates a "Green Grain" theme that feels grounded yet prestigious. Unlike the traditional three-piece set, this "Two-Piece" (Lid & Bowl) design offers a minimalist and streamlined brewing experience for the modern tea connoisseur.

Artistic Craftsmanship & Aesthetics

• Shino Glaze Artistry (志野): Known for its thick, viscous, and jade-like texture, Shino glaze often features "orange peel" pitting and subtle pinholes. It provides a warm, organic hand-feel that is unique to every piece, embodying a quiet, natural beauty.

• Gilded Accents (鎏金): The rustic Shino base is elevated by meticulous gilding. The contrast between the earthy clay and the shimmering gold creates a "low-key luxury" aesthetic, making the vessel stand out as a piece of functional art..

Minimalist "Two-Piece" Design (二才)

• Lid & Bowl Structure: This set purposefully omits the saucer, consisting only of the Lid and the Bowl. This "Ercai" (Two-Talents) design is favored by tea masters who prefer a more direct, agile grip and a cleaner look on the tea tray.

• Single-Vessel Functionality: Designed to function as a "Single Pot" (单壶), it is compact and efficient—perfect for solo sessions in the office or simplified tea ceremonies at home.

• Superior Ergonomics: Despite the lack of a saucer, the thick-walled Shino ceramic offers excellent natural insulation. The flared rim and balanced weight ensure a smooth pour and comfortable handling without the risk of scalding.

Material & Performance

• High-Heat Retention: The dense, high-fired ceramic body retains heat exceptionally well. This makes it the ideal tool for teas that require high temperatures for full extraction, such as aged Pu-erh, Oolong, or Rock Tea (Yancha).

• One-of-a-Kind Texture: Due to the nature of Shino firing, each Gaiwan features slightly different glaze patterns and "scorch" marks, ensuring your piece is entirely unique.
