Gaiwan Purple Ruyao Silver Butterfly Floral, 100ml Gift Box
Gaiwan — Purple Ruyao Silver-Gilt Butterfly & Floral, 100ml
A fusion of Ruyao porcelain tradition and refined silver-gilt artistry, this gaiwan is a statement piece for the discerning tea lover. The deep purple glaze — a color long associated with auspicious fortune (紫气东来) and nobility in Chinese culture — is adorned with gilded silver butterflies and floral motifs, applied at high temperature with pure silver powder for a luminous, lasting luster. The elegant sunflower-shaped rim adds a graceful, generous silhouette that sets this gaiwan apart from the ordinary.
Fired in the Ruyao tradition, the glaze develops natural ice-crack patterns that deepen into gold and iron thread effects with use — a living finish that grows more beautiful over time.
