Orient Cha: The "Summer Watermelon" Bio-mimetic Gaiwan — Every summer deserves a watermelon, and every tea lover deserves a touch of pastoral dreams. While watermelon-shaped teapots are classic, this Academy-Style Gaiwan is a rare find. Handcrafted with a thin-walled technique and Purple Clay Slip (Pink Jiang), it brings the cool, sweet essence of a summer harvest to your fingertips.
Academy Design & Lifelike Details
-
Artistic Bio-mimicry: The body and lid perfectly replicate the rind of a watermelon. The "Pink Jiang" slip technique creates a vibrant, multi-layered green texture that looks remarkably realistic and refreshing.
-
Hidden Surprises: True beauty lies in the details. The base of the bowl and the underside of the lid are adorned with hand-applied "watermelon seeds," meticulously crafted to surprise and delight you during every steep.
-
Thin-Walled (Bo Tai) Craft: This 100cc gaiwan is exceptionally light and delicate. Its ergonomic "one-hand grip" makes it incredibly agile to use, enhancing the joy and "fun" of the tea ceremony.
