A sculptural zisha gaiwan set defined by tactile engraving and a refined collector’s presentation.

Overview
The Tiaodao Tea Gaiwan Set is designed for customers who appreciate the preparation of tea as much as the objects surrounding it. Its gaiwan format offers a more traditional approach to gongfu tea preparation, while the integrated filtration openings provide a visible functional detail that distinguishes it from purely decorative tea vessels.
The Tiaodao engraving is the visual signature of the collection. Spiral cuts move across the surface in irregular patterns, creating a deliberate contrast between smooth reddish-brown ceramic and darker textured areas. This interaction between material and light gives the set considerable presence in close-up photography.
The presentation case elevates the entire experience further. Its black exterior, leather handle, gold-toned clasps and fitted interior make the set feel more like a portable collection than ordinary tea ware. The calligraphic detail inside the case adds another layer of craftsmanship when the set is opened.
With one gaiwan, four matching cups and a dedicated carrying case, the Tiaodao Tea Gaiwan Set is positioned as a complete ceremonial tea object designed for both use and display.
Details
Tiaodao Surface Technique
The characteristic spiral texture is created through a traditional jumping-knife engraving technique, producing visible variations in relief across the ceramic surface.
Zisha Ceramic
The set is crafted from purple-toned ceramic with a natural raw glaze, preserving the tactile character of the material rather than concealing it beneath a uniform decorative finish.
Traditional Gaiwan
The covered bowl is designed for controlled tea preparation and decanting, with an integrated saucer and filtration openings positioned around the bowl.
Four Matching Cups
Four compact cups complement the gaiwan, creating a complete setting for shared tea preparation and tasting.
Collector’s Presentation Case
The rigid black case features a leather handle, gold-toned clasps, custom-fitted black foam and an interior calligraphic engraving, giving the set the character of a portable collector’s piece.
