The Shuiyue White Slip Gaiwan is crafted using the traditional white slip (Fun’iki) technique, featuring a refined blue-gray glaze with a naturally flowing surface texture. The interplay of light and shadow on the lid and body resembles the serene reflection of the moon on water, exuding a poetic and tranquil beauty. The textured exterior, with its delicate gradations of color, evokes gentle ripples on a lake, while the smooth, white-glazed interior provides a striking contrast, enhancing the visual appeal of tea.
Design Highlights:
- White Slip Technique: This traditional method allows the natural clay to softly emerge through the glaze, creating an organic, hand-brushed effect, making each piece unique.
- Blue-Gray Glaze: A subdued yet elegant glaze that shifts between blue and gray, reminiscent of moonlight shimmering on water, conveying a quiet, meditative charm.
- Smooth Interior Glaze: The inner walls are coated with a glossy, jade-like white glaze, contrasting beautifully with the textured exterior and enhancing the clarity of the tea.
- Comfortable Grip: The gently flared rim ensures a comfortable hold, allowing for smooth pouring without burning the fingers.
- Minimalist Lid Knob: The square-shaped lid knob adds a contemporary yet subtly traditional touch, harmonizing with the overall design.
The Shuiyue White Slip Gaiwan is more than just a practical tea vessel—it is an artistic expression of tranquility and refinement. Its understated presence makes it an ideal companion for tea appreciation, creating an immersive and meditative experience with every brew.
