The bowl shows fine throwing lines and dark mineral speckles, while the lid’s top carries a mottled golden-bronze sheen over a dark base, like scattered starlight. Inside, a natural ash glaze creates a textured mix of grey, brown, and gold tones, with kiln deposits gathering near the bottom. The unglazed underside and foot ring reveal the raw, light brown clay, and the overall silhouette feels asymmetrical and alive.

A closer look
This wood-fired gaiwan features a classic conical or "douli" shape, consisting of a bowl and a separate lid. The piece is handcrafted from ceramic clay, exhibiting a rustic, earthy aesthetic with a matte to semi-matte surface texture. The exterior of the bowl displays a gradient of colors, transitioning from a dark, charcoal grey near the rim to a warm, reddish-brown terracotta hue towards the base. The surface is characterized by fine, horizontal throwing lines, indicating it was formed on a potter's wheel, and is speckled with small, dark mineral inclusions. The lid is slightly domed and features a prominent, sculpted knob in the form of a stylized cloud, with intricate, swirling relief patterns. The top of the lid showcases a "golden light" kiln effect, with a mottled, metallic sheen of gold and bronze tones over a dark base, resembling scattered starlight. The interior of the bowl is coated with a natural ash glaze, resulting in a textured, speckled surface with a mix of grey, brown, and golden tones, and visible kiln slag or ash deposits, particularly concentrated at the bottom. The underside of the lid is unglazed, revealing the raw, light brown clay body with concentric throwing rings. The base of the bowl is a small, flat foot ring, also unglazed, showing the natural clay color. The overall design is asymmetrical and organic, with the unique glaze effects and sculptural knob serving as key decorative elements. The capacity of the gaiwan under the lid is 110ml.
