This exquisite Gaiwan from Jingdezhen showcases the traditional Doucai technique, featuring a unique horseshoe-shaped body. The flared rim and flowing lines create an elegant silhouette that fits naturally in the hand—comfortable to hold, heat-insulated, and aesthetically refined.
The piece is themed around the classic motif ‘Butterfly Loves the Flower’ with hand-painted butterflies fluttering gracefully among swaying floral branches. The composition is airy and poetic, expressing an ethereal charm. In Chinese culture, this motif has long symbolised romantic love, freedom of the soul, and vitality. In classical poetry and art, butterflies often represent delicate emotions and mutual affection, while flowers signify beauty and ideal moments—together, they portray love’s longing and fulfilment.
Crafted using the Doucai method—an imperial decorative style originating in the Ming Dynasty’s Chenghua period—the process is intricate. First, outlines are painted in underglaze cobalt blue and fired at high temperature. Then, overglaze enamels are applied to add colour before a second low-temperature firing. The result is a harmonious interplay of subdued blue and vibrant enamel tones, with rich layers and refined softness. Doucai is celebrated as a pinnacle of Chinese ceramic artistry, known for its elegance and depth.
The Gaiwan’s lid, bowl, and saucer are proportioned with precision. The gently rounded rim is smooth to the touch and slightly flared to prevent burns, offering a pleasant handling experience. This Doucai Gaiwan is not only a functional teaware piece but also a collectible artwork steeped in cultural and aesthetic significance—ideal for daily tea sessions, refined tea tables, or as a meaningful gift.
Whether enjoyed in solitary serenity or shared with friends, it brings a touch of poetic grace to each moment of tea.

This Gaiwan is made in the style of the Yuan dynasty blue and white porcelain, completely handmade and hand painted. The pattern of “一鹭莲科” or “一路连科” in Chinese culture is derived from the beautiful combination of the heron and lotus leaves. As “鹭” (heron) and “路” (path/road) have the same pronunciation, and “莲” (lotus) sounds like “连” (successive/continuous), the name “一路连科” is a play on words that conveys the beautiful meaning of the pattern. In ancient times, successive successful candidates in the imperial examinations were called “连科,” and “一路连科” is a good wish for students to have a smooth career path and achieve success step by step.
For Yuan blue and white porcelain refers to the blue and white porcelain produced during the Yuan dynasty (1271-1368) in China. The Yuan dynasty was an important period in the history of Chinese porcelain and one of the peaks of Chinese porcelain art. As one of the representatives of that era, Yuan blue and white porcelain exhibited unique artistic styles and technical levels. The characteristic of Yuan blue and white is the use of cobalt blue pigment for painting, which is made of cobalt oxide. After firing, the colour is bright and rich, with extremely high decorative effect. Yuan blue and white porcelain has various shapes, thick and heavy, concise, and fluent lines, and stable and solemn shapes, all made exquisitely.
The evolution of Yuan blue and white is based on the foundation of Tang and Song celadon. Firstly, the glaze colour was improved and innovated. Unique white glaze, eggshell glaze and blue-white glaze were invented to make the glaze crystal clear. Cobalt pigment was imported for glaze colouring. Or using the pigment made from domestic materials.
The formation of tin spots on Yuan blue and white is due to the high content of iron elements in local parts of the blue pigment. After reaching saturation in the high-temperature glaze solution and cooling down, the iron elements in the supersaturated part start to precipitate. If the iron content of the blue pigment is higher and the cooling rate is appropriate, tin spots are more likely to appear on the surface of the ware.
In addition to firing and materials, the formation of tin spots also involves the factor of glaze material. During the painting process, tin spots can also be formed due to the accumulation of blue pigment. Tin spots are more likely to appear on the surface of the ware at the intersections and the starting and ending points of brushstrokes. The formation of tin spots can be said to be a natural creation or an artificial decoration.
While this Lian Sheng Yuan Xi Gaiwan retains the bold and rich coloration of classic Yuan blue and white porcelain, its tin-spot effect is relatively subtle, giving it a more delicate and refined appearance. The overall aesthetic is graceful and elegant, embodying a scholarly charm. Compared to the traditionally bold and unrestrained Yuan blue and white style, this piece leans towards a more understated and sophisticated aesthetic, blending classic heritage with a softer, more literary elegance. It brings a sense of warmth and refinement to any tea session, offering a harmonious balance between history and artistry.

This Yuan-style blue and white fish-and-waterweed gaiwan is crafted using traditional Jingdezhen underglaze blue techniques. The body is sturdy, with a well-balanced form that exudes classical elegance. On the outer surface, vivid hand-painted carp swim gracefully among waving aquatic plants. The composition is lively and natural—the fish scales are delicately rendered, and the water plants sway in dynamic rhythm, revealing the artist’s refined brushwork and artistic finesse.
What sets this piece apart lies within: the interior of the gaiwan features an intricately incised design of fish and weeds, subtly hidden beneath the glaze. As light moves across the surface, the design gradually emerges like a submerged relief, as if the fish are gliding beneath the tea, adding a poetic and graceful charm to the tea experience.
The special pattern of this teacup is fish and seaweed. Since ancient times, fish and seaweed motifs have been traditional decorative patterns in ceramics, representing auspiciousness and carrying rich cultural and aesthetic meanings. The homophonic association between fish and the Chinese word for “surplus” (yu) makes fish a symbol of abundance and wealth. Fish motifs are often used to convey the meaning of “abundance and surplus,” “prosperity year after year” (as the pronunciation of fish is similar to that of “surplus” in Chinese), and “auspicious celebrations and abundance.” The fish and seaweed motifs typically feature fish as the central element, with additional decorations such as water plants, forming a variety of decorative patterns. The depiction of four swimming fish in the artwork symbolizes the concept of “surplus in all four seasons,” representing a year-round surplus, which carries a highly positive connotation. Such motifs are not only favoured by the royal court but also beloved by people from all walks of life as auspicious decorations. The flexible composition, auspicious symbolism, and abundant variations of fish and seaweed motifs have made them timeless classics throughout different eras.
