Yixing Purple Clay Heart Sutra Gaiwan

The Yixing Purple Clay Heart Sutra Gaiwan, a revered traditional Chinese tea vessel, is meticulously crafted with exquisite artistry. Its elegant body is adorned with intricate engravings of the Buddhist Heart Sutra, showcasing the exceptional fine brushwork of skilled artisans. The lotus motif adorning the lid seamlessly complements the engravings, creating a refined and understated aesthetic.

Originating in China in the 14th century, the Gaiwan consists of a saucer, bowl, and lid that work harmoniously together. Its versatile design allows for various tea preparation methods, including the popular “rinsing” technique. This involves pouring boiling water over the tea leaves in the Gaiwan, draining it immediately, and inhaling the enchanting aroma of the awakened leaves.

With a capacity of 100ml (3.38 oz), the Gaiwan is ideal for preparing and enjoying tea of any variety. Its compact size and intricate engravings make it both a functional and aesthetic treasure. Whether used as a teapot or simply for sipping tea directly from the vessel, the Yixing Purple Clay Heart Sutra Gaiwan elevates the tea drinking experience to an art form.
