Authentic Jingdezhen "Yanzhi" Colorful Gaiwan

The Yanzhi gaiwan is a modern variation of a traditional gongfu tea essential. Known for its elegant flared rim and gracefully tapered foot, this shape makes brewing more comfortable and intuitive. The gently curved lip offers a smoother pour and helps prevent your fingers from getting too close to the heat, while the stable base keeps the vessel grounded during infusions.

This version adds a subtle twist to the classic form. Crafted from white jade porcelain (白玉瓷) and finished in a soft pastel green glaze, it brings a splash of personality to your tea table without feeling showy. The interior remains unglazed and bright white—perfect for visually tracking tea color, leaf expansion, and infusion clarity.

Each piece is made in Jingdezhen, the historic heart of Chinese porcelain-making for over a thousand years. Produced using ultra-pure local clay and fired by skilled artisans, the gaiwan is light, durable, and naturally luminous. When held to the light, it reveals a soft, even glow—a true marker of high-quality craftsmanship and material purity.

Whether you’re just beginning your gongfu tea journey or looking to add a reliable daily-use vessel to your collection, this Yanzhi gaiwan blends thoughtful design, everyday practicality, and a touch of gentle color into one well-balanced brewing tool.
