Kyoe Sansui Gaiwan

This handmade and hand-painted Hasamiyaki porcelain gaiwan features a serene landscape motif of mountains and water.

Hasamiyaki porcelain originates from the town of Hasami in Japan, with a history spanning over 400 years. Introduced from Korea, the technique involves high-temperature firing that vitrifies the surface, making it ideal for brewing all types of tea.

The blue-and-white design is created using a traditional technique known as sometsuke. First developed in China in the 12th century and adopted in Japan during the 17th century, sometsuke involves painting cobalt-rich blue pigments onto bisque-fired porcelain. The piece is then coated in a clear glaze and fired once more, producing the distinctive and enduring decoration.

The gaiwan comes in 3 sizes:
A) Small ✴︎ Capacity: 50 ml / 1.7 fl oz; Φ 7.2 cm, H: 7.5 cm
B) Medium ✴︎ Capacity: 70 ml / 2.37 fl oz; Φ 8.3 cm, H: 8.2 cm
C) Large ✴︎ Capacity: 100 ml / 3.4 fl oz; Φ 9 cm, H: 10.4 cm
