Jingdezhen Wood-Fired Underglaze Red Tea Set | Hand-Painted Gaiwan, Grip Cup & Tea Tray — 3-Piece Collector's Set
Jingdezhen Wood-Fired Underglaze Red Tea Set | Hand-Painted Gaiwan, Grip Cup & Tea Tray — 3-Piece Collector's Set
Copper Red That Cannot Be Copied. Flame That Cannot Be Controlled. Beauty That Cannot Be Replicated.
Each piece in this set is hand-painted and fired in a traditional pine wood kiln (柴窑) in Jingdezhen — the birthplace of Chinese porcelain. The underglaze red (釉里红) technique demands copper oxide pigment applied beneath the glaze before firing, where the kiln's unpredictable flame determines the final depth, bloom, and warmth of every red tone. No two pieces fire the same. What you receive is a one-of-a-kind object shaped by fire, skill, and chance.
Unlike gas-kiln production ware, wood-fired pieces carry the natural warmth and subtle texture of pine ash and flame variation — a quality prized by collectors and serious tea drinkers alike.
The Set
-
Gaiwan (盖碗) — 240ml | Diameter 9.5cm | Height 8.5cm
A golden-capacity gaiwan with a comfortable rim curve for clean, effortless pouring without burning the fingers. Versatile across rock oolong, pu-erh, dan cong, and most tea types. -
Grip Cup / Yaoshou Cup (压手杯) — 200ml | Diameter 9.5cm | Height 7cm
Matching diameter, substantial and grounded in the hand. Use as a large tasting cup for solo drinking, or as a fairness pitcher for sharing — one cup, multiple roles. -

Custom Base Seal Available: Personalize your set with a custom engraved seal — your name, studio name, or personal mark. Contact our team via direct message to arrange.
⚠️ A Note on Natural Variation: Wood-fired underglaze red is among the most technically demanding finishes in Chinese ceramics. Subtle differences in red tone, depth, and bloom between pieces are an inherent and celebrated quality of hand-fired ware — not a defect. Your set is unique by nature.
Product Description
Product Description
This three-piece set — gaiwan, grip cup, and tea tray — is produced entirely in Jingdezhen using the traditional pine wood kiln method and pure hand-painted underglaze red technique. Copper red glaze is among the most technically demanding finishes in Chinese ceramics: the pigment is applied beneath the glaze before firing, and the final color — its depth, warmth, and bloom — is determined entirely by the kiln's flame. No two pieces fire the same.
Wood-fired ware carries a warmth and surface quality that gas-kiln production cannot replicate: subtle texture, natural variation, and the quiet presence of something made by hand and shaped by fire. Each set is both a functional tea tool and a collectible object.
The 9.5cm gaiwan holds 240ml — a practical capacity for daily brewing — with a rim curve designed for effortless, burn-free pouring. The matching grip cup at 200ml is substantial in the hand and versatile in use. The 19cm tea tray holds 550ml of overflow water, keeping your tea table composed through even the most generous brewing sessions.
Custom base seals are available for those who wish to mark the set as their own — a studio name, personal seal, or commemorative inscription. Contact us directly to arrange.
