Inspired by mountains after the rain, this porcelain tea waste bowl captures the beauty of a traditional Chinese ink landscape painting. It combines three traditional decorative techniques — splashed blue glaze, alum red painting, and ink decoration — bringing distant mountains, graceful cranes, and poetic calligraphy together in an elegant composition.
The varying shades of blue evoke mountain peaks veiled in morning mist. Two cranes, painted in alum red, create a graceful balance of movement and stillness, while the ink calligraphy adds a touch of traditional literati elegance.
With its softly rounded form, flowing contours, and gently flared rim, this piece balances artistic beauty with everyday functionality. Designed as a tea waste bowl (Jianshui), it collects excess water and discarded tea leaves, keeping your tea table clean and tidy.
A little landscape in a vessel, bringing tranquility and elegance to everyday tea moments.
