{"product_id":"rising-tide-handcrafted-ice-jade-porcelain-gaiwan","title":"Rising Tide | Handcrafted Ice Jade Porcelain Gaiwan","description":"\u003cp\u003eRising Tide brings the movement of the sea to a traditional gaiwan handcrafted in Dehua. Made from softly luminous ice-jade porcelain, the vessel is decorated with layered waves in gold, silver and finely outlined tones, creating a sense of movement across its pale surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIce-jade porcelain (冰種玉瓷) is named for its smooth, softly translucent and jade-like appearance. “Ice-jade” describes the visual character of the porcelain rather than its material composition. Its pale body provides a neutral setting for brewing and allows the colour of the tea liquor to remain clearly visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design centres on the Guanchao, or “watching the tide”, motif (觀潮). Rising waves traditionally suggest movement, perseverance and the confidence to continue forward through change. The decoration draws on the cuo jin yin (錯金銀) aesthetic of traditional gold-and-silver inlay, expressed here through gold- and silver-toned ceramic detailing. Metallic contours define the wave crests and overlapping currents without overwhelming the white porcelain beneath them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gaiwan is suitable for focused Gongfu brewing. Its flared rim helps guide the tea during pouring, while the raised lid knob offers a comfortable point of contact. The lid can be shifted slightly to control the opening, helping retain larger tea leaves as the liquor is decanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRising Tide is available in a two-piece gaiwan with black ceramic stand, which Includes the porcelain lid and brewing bowl with a separate black ceramic stand. The broad stand creates a dramatic contrast with the white porcelain and provides a dedicated surface beneath the gaiwan. It is also available in a three-piece gaiwan With Porcelain Saucer: Includes the lid, brewing bowl and matching porcelain saucer. This is the traditional sancai (三才) configuration, in which the lid, bowl and saucer are commonly associated with heaven, humanity and earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth styles share the same Rising Tide decoration.
