The Celadon Floral Gaiwan brings together the serene beauty of celadon porcelain and the lively elegance of raised floral decoration.
Measuring approximately 8.3 cm in diameter and 9.5 cm in height, with a capacity of around 150 ml, the gaiwan has a compact and graceful presence. Its lid, bowl, and saucer form a harmonious three-part vessel suitable for tea drinking as well as refined tea-table display.
The floral decoration is rendered in relief, allowing blossoms to emerge gently from the surface of the porcelain. Against the soft celadon glaze, the raised flowers create subtle variations of light and shadow that change with the viewing angle.
The quiet tone of celadon contrasts beautifully with the vitality of the floral pattern, bringing together serenity and abundance, simplicity and liveliness in a single tea vessel.

Celadon Glaze × Raised Floral Relief × Three-Part Structure
The gaiwan follows the traditional three-part structure of lid, bowl, and saucer, creating a balanced and complete composition when assembled.
With a diameter of approximately 8.3 cm, a height of 9.5 cm, and a capacity of around 150 ml, the vessel has a compact yet graceful proportion. Its rounded body and layered lid-and-saucer structure create a clear sense of depth.
The defining feature is the raised floral decoration. Different blossoms are arranged across the surface in a natural and rhythmic composition. Because the flowers are sculpted in relief, they interact with light to create delicate highlights and shadows, adding both visual depth and tactile character.
The overall design balances soft glaze, natural floral imagery, and a restrained silhouette, creating an elegant interpretation of traditional Chinese tea ware.

Flowers have held an important place in traditional Chinese art and decorative culture. Different flowers carry different meanings, while an abundance of blossoms can evoke ideas of beauty, prosperity, flourishing life, and auspicious wishes.
The continuous arrangement of flowers also reflects a traditional appreciation for the vitality and changing beauty of nature. Seasonal blossoms have long been connected with ideas of time, renewal, and the rhythms of life.
The three-part structure of the gaiwan carries another layer of cultural meaning. The lid, bowl, and saucer can be associated with the traditional concept of the Three Powers—Heaven, Earth, and Humanity, expressing an ideal of harmony between people and the natural world.
This gaiwan therefore brings together the vitality of flowers, the tranquility of celadon, and the symbolic structure of traditional Chinese tea ware.
