Chubai Gaiwan
White porcelain is the ground of teaware, and it tests the kiln. The Chubai Gaiwan adds no gold and no ornament; the work goes where it cannot be seen — the angle of the flared rim, the steadiness of the lid knob, the evenness of the body. High-fired with a dense body, it pours clean and holds little of the previous steep.
This is not a piece to keep in a cabinet and handle with care. In the morning, a pot of Longjing alone; in the afternoon, another steep of rougui for a friend; when it is finished, rinse it and leave it on the table. For daily things, useful matters more than beautiful — and a useful thing, used long enough, becomes beautiful. Start with this one, and slowly learn how tea should be drunk.
High-fired high-white porcelain, dense body, clean glaze; a plain lid knob, no ornament — the attention returns to the tea itself.
The flared rim pours clean, without dripping or scalding; the plain lid knob holds steady in one hand. For a daily brewer, fit to the hand comes first.
The dense body is slow to take on aroma — rock tea today, Longjing tomorrow, no flavours crossing.
