Longquan Tea Bowl: Series 2

$480.00

Longquan Tea Bowl: Series 2

  • Part of our Song Kiln Collection, this tea bowl is inspired by the celadon ware of the Song Dynasty's Imperial Longquan Kilns.

    Handcrafted from dark clay and glazed with a gemlike blue-green celadon, this stunning vessel was created by up-and-coming ceramicist, Xu Chun Tian (son of nationally acclaimed Taiwanese ceramics master, Xu De Jia).

    The glaze is a modern interpretation of China's classic Longquan celadons. Like glistening jade in luster and appearance, this bowl offers a stately low profile for ergonomics and aesthetic appeal. Details include a subtle indentation near the base and the artist's stamp on the underside of the bowl. A complex web of craquelure runs through the glaze in a unique pattern; barely visible when new, these lines will darken with use to create a beautiful patina.

    Please note that this is a handmade item, and every bowl will vary slightly in glaze, shape, dimensions, and volume.

  • Using a tea bowl is one of the simplest ways to brew tea - Just add tea leaves, top with hot water, and wait for the leaves to sink to the bottom of the bowl as they re-hydrate. For best results, use a whole leaf tea with low tannin content.
