Blue Knight Wood Fired Rough Clay Gaiwan
Blue Knight Wood Fired Rough Clay Gaiwan
Handmade by a potter in Quanzhou, Fujian. This unglazed woodfired gaiwan features a natural dark brown tone which appears matte. You will find the golden and blue flame on the tea bowl. The appearance and effect were created with rough clay under the high temperature with a long period.
Traditional wood-fired kilns have become rare in China today. The laborious process of wood-firing creates a unique, natural glazing, that can’t be achieved in more common and easier to use electric kilns. The special texture, color, and pattern of wood-fired teaware is a result of direct exposure to fire and ash over a long period, making wood-fired teaware some of the most sought-after teaware today.

Additional Information:
It’s food safe, of course. And also dishwasher safe. However, I strongly recommend that you wash and dry it by hand, and use it gently. Please do not use on an open flame, gas or electric stove-top. And try to avoid alternating hot and cold, which could cause cracking.
