Textured Ceramic Gaiwan with Daqi Lacquer Finish #94572, 135ml

Lacquered Night, Tactile Silence\nThis striking ceramic gaiwan is a sculptural meditation on texture and shadow. Its hand-thrown ridged form is coated in the traditional Daqi Gongyi (大漆工艺) technique — a meticulous multi-layer lacquer process using natural sap from the lacquer tree (Toxicodendron vernicifluum), applied and polished in over 20 cycles.\n\nThe result: a rich, dark violet-black surface with shimmering undertones of plum, iron, and indigo, subtly catching the light across the deeply grooved lid and faceted bowl. The carved zigzag band around the body evokes mountains or waves, grounding the piece in both movement and stillness.\n\nThis gaiwan is designed for focused gongfu brewing. Its texture enhances grip, and its visual presence transforms every pour into a ritual.\n\nFor those who seek something elemental — where tea meets sculpture, and the hand meets silence.
