Handmade Meteor Glaze Gaiwan – 160ml Zen Wabi-Sabi Ceramic, Kiln-Transformed

A celestial masterpiece born from fire and earth, this 160ml Gaiwan embodies the raw beauty of kiln-altered ceramics. Crafted in Jingdezhen, China’s porcelain capital, the bowl is shaped like a horseshoe—an ancient symbol of luck—and coated in “Meteor Glaze,” a rare mineral blend that erupts into cosmic patterns during high-temperature reduction firing. Swirls of obsidian, cobalt, and stardust-like speckles mimic meteor trails, making each piece a one-of-a-kind relic of the kiln’s alchemy.

Hand-thrown by master artisans, the Gaiwan’s unglazed interior retains the clay’s natural porosity, subtly refining tea flavors over time. Its thick walls (2cm) ensure heat retention for robust teas like pu-erh, while the wide 10cm mouth allows effortless leaf expansion. The rustic, crackled surface embodies wabi-sabi aesthetics, celebrating imperfections as marks of the artisan’s touch.
