This exquisite Longquan Celadon Gaiwan is a tribute to the peak of Song Dynasty aesthetics. Featuring the legendary Plum Green (Meiziqing) glaze and a meticulously hand-carved Cloud-Piercing Dragon (穿云龙) relief, it represents the perfect harmony between powerful symbolism and serene elegance.
The Rare "Plum Green" Glaze: Known as Meiziqing, this is the most sought-after hue in Longquan celadon. It is thick, lustrous, and possesses a jade-like depth that feels soft to the touch and radiant to the eye.
Hand-Embossed Dragon Relief: The "Cloud-Piercing Dragon" is hand-carved by master artisans. The 3D relief creates a stunning tactile experience—you can feel the scales and the movement of the dragon as you hold the vessel.
High-Temperature Kiln Firing: Fired at over 1300°C, this porcelain is durable and has excellent thermal stability, making it ideal for brewing delicate Oolong, aged Pu-erh, or floral Green teas.
The Spirit of Longquan Celadon
Longquan celadon is the only ceramic tradition in the world inscribed on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage list. Often described as "Green as jade, bright as a mirror," this gaiwan will develop a unique "soul" over time. As tea oils interact with the glaze, the subtle ice-crackle patterns beneath the surface will slowly bloom, telling the story of every session.

To preserve the jade-like finish, we recommend rinsing with warm water after each use. Avoid harsh detergents. As you "season" your gaiwan, the dragon relief will take on a deeper, more profound character.
