Velvet Rose Solo Gaiwan 60ml

The Velvet Rose Solo Gaiwan 60ml is a handcrafted Jingdezhen porcelain gaiwan designed for personal gongfu tea brewing. A deep, saturated, velvety pink glaze blooms across its surface — rich, unapologetic, and radiant. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind result of Yaobian kiln transformation, where the full intensity of heat draws out a bold, luminous colour that shifts subtly under changing light. No two gaiwans are ever exactly alike.

Part of the Elemental Collection, this solo gaiwan pairs commanding visual beauty with practical precision — an ideal companion for black tea, roasted oolong, white tea, and delicate spring teas.

Designed for the Solo Gongfu Practitioner

With a 60ml under-lid capacity, this petite gaiwan is purpose-built for personal tea sessions. The smaller brewing volume lets you explore premium loose-leaf teas with full control over every infusion — minimising waste while maximising flavour clarity.

Its compact profile fits naturally in the hand, encouraging comfortable one-handed pouring and a slower, more attentive brewing rhythm.

The Velvet Rose Glaze

The Velvet Rose glaze is born from a kiln process that cannot be fully controlled or replicated. Where the full intensity of heat has dissolved any trace of softness, what remains is a glaze of deep, saturated radiance — layered in rich rose and warm blush tones that glow like the last light of a summer afternoon. The result is a vessel that feels both bold and alive.

Curator's Note: The same kiln firing also produced a sister variation — Frosted Rose — where the heat softened, allowing delicate icy-white halos to mingle with pale pink for a quieter, more ethereal effect. Explore both variations in our Elemental Collection.
