Qing Hua Classic Gaiwan

Hand-Drawn Qing Hua Gaiwan – Classic Fish Pattern

This handcrafted Qing Hua gaiwan is a tribute to tradition, adorned with the classic fish motif, a design that has been cherished in Chinese porcelain for centuries. Each stroke of cobalt blue is drawn by hand, bringing the pattern to life with movement and fluidity—just like the fish it represents.

In Chinese culture, the fish (鱼, yú) is a powerful symbol of abundance, prosperity, and perseverance. It is often associated with the phrase 年年有余 (nián nián yǒu yú), which translates to "may you have abundance year after year." Fish also symbolize success, wealth, and harmony, as they swim freely and gracefully through water, representing flow and adaptability.

Design & Inspiration:

• Hand-drawn Qing Hua (Blue & White) pattern – a nod to classic Chinese porcelain traditions.
• Fish motif – symbolizing prosperity, abundance, and success in life.
• Fine porcelain material – smooth, translucent, and delicate, yet strong enough for daily use.
• Balanced proportions – designed for effortless handling, brewing, and appreciation of tea.

Functional Beauty:

• Perfect for Gongfu tea brewing, enhancing the aroma and taste of fine teas.
• A meaningful piece for collectors and tea lovers, blending art, symbolism, and function.
• Each gaiwan is one-of-a-kind, with no two brushstrokes ever being the same.
