{"product_id":"moonlit-lotus-handcrafted-pure-silver-detailed-linglong-ceramic-gaiwan","title":"Moonlit Lotus | Handcrafted Pure Silver-Detailed Linglong Ceramic Gaiwan","description":"\u003cp\u003eMoonlit Lotus brings together classical blue-and-white ornament, luminous Linglong craftsmanship (玲瓏工藝) and genuine pure silver detailing in a refined three-piece gaiwan handcrafted in Dehua.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design centres on the traditional scrolling lotus motif (纏枝蓮), with cobalt-blue blossoms and continuous curling vines unfolding across the bowl and lid. The lotus has long carried associations with purity, harmony and continuity in Chinese decorative arts, while the interlacing stems give the composition a sense of movement that continues naturally around the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFine metallic accents are created using a traditional ceramic silver-cladding technique (陶瓷鎏銀). For this maker's work, a layer of pure silver is applied to selected areas of the ceramic surface, adding a restrained metallic lustre to the floral composition, lid finial and foot. Rather than dominating the design, the silver interacts with the cobalt decoration and pale ceramic body, becoming more pronounced as the vessel moves through changing light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntegrated among the blue-and-white decoration are delicate Linglong translucent sections (玲瓏). Small patterned areas are carefully formed within the ceramic body and filled with translucent glaze before firing. Once completed, the surface remains smooth and sealed while allowing light to pass through, creating softly illuminated motifs that appear almost hidden under ordinary light and become increasingly visible when backlit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis interplay between blue-and-white decoration, genuine silver and translucent Linglong work gives Moonlit Lotus its distinctive character. The design does not reveal itself all at once. Fine details emerge gradually through differences in reflection, translucency and depth, giving the gaiwan a quiet visual richness when viewed closely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is finished in a softly saturated turquoise glaze, providing a cool contrast to the ivory, blue and silver exterior. When the lid is lifted, the interior introduces an unexpected field of colour while providing a calm backdrop for observing the tea liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned in the traditional three-piece gaiwan format (三才蓋碗), Moonlit Lotus consists of a bowl, fitted lid and matching saucer. The gently flared rim provides comfortable handling during brewing, while the lid can be adjusted to control the opening according to the size of the tea leaves and the desired pouring speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe broad bowl gives whole leaves room to open freely during steeping, making it particularly well suited to the short, controlled infusions of Gongfu brewing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a fitted gift box, Moonlit Lotus combines the symbolic elegance of the scrolling lotus with Linglong translucency and genuine pure silver craftsmanship, creating a functional brewing vessel with the presence of a collectible piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Origin: Made in \u003cstrong\u003eDehua\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Product:\u003cbr\u003e1 × Ceramic Gaiwan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted in Dehua\u003c\/strong\u003e with traditional ceramic-making methods, each with a unique design and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dehua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49737902653592,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/1425\/9096\/files\/1_b0905ad1-7f4a-452c-889d-0d760ccb484f.jpg?v=1787603689","url":"https:\/\/fungtea.com\/products\/moonlit-lotus-handcrafted-pure-silver-detailed-linglong-ceramic-gaiwan","provider":"Fung Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
