Mountains and Poetry Silver Gaiwan

A World Within the Palm

This gaiwan set by Hong Jianpeng captures something rare: an entire landscape unfolding within the small, intimate space of a tea vessel. Through engraving, poetry, and surface treatment, he transforms everyday teaware into a quiet scene you return to again and again.

Landscapes and calligraphy are carved directly into the gaiwan and fairness cup, then finished with a silver glaze and antique patina. The result feels immediate and alive—mountains seem to recede, space opens up, and the vessel gains a sense of depth far beyond its size.

Like a silver coin from a hidden era, the surface will grow richer and more soulful with every touch.

How It Feels

Playful, Poetic, Immersive

As you lift the gaiwan, your fingers trace engraved lines—mountains, paths, wind. Tea pours through a vessel that feels both tactile and visual, turning each brew into a small moment of exploration.

The engraved poem reads:

“试问，有钱百万河东客，
可买松风六月凉。”

“Ask this: can a millionaire from Hedong buy the cool pine wind of June?”

The poem invites a pause—reminding us that true comfort and clarity cannot be purchased, only felt. Tea becomes more than taste; it becomes a gentle game of attention and presence.

Founder Anchor

“The pleasure of tea isn’t only aroma—it’s play.
This gaiwan invites you to look closer, pour slower,
and discover a small world each time you brew.”
— Kevin, Founder

This is not just a gaiwan.
It’s a moment of landscape, poetry, and tea—held quietly in your hands.
