This is a hand-painted blue and white with alum red dragon gaiwan from Jingdezhen. The vivid underglaze blue depicts a powerful dragon surging through waves, accented with striking alum red details on the dragon’s scales, creating a dramatic contrast of colors. The dynamic scene symbolizes courage, prosperity, and the ability to overcome challenges in Chinese culture. Its elegant flared shape and luminous high-white clay body make it both a functional tea vessel and a remarkable piece of cultural art, ideal for discerning tea lovers and collectors.
In Chinese culture, the dragon on this gaiwan is a symbol of power, success, and good fortune, while the crashing waves represent the courage to overcome life’s challenges. The combination of deep underglaze blue and vivid alum red is a classic “blue and white with alum red” technique, a traditional craft that dates back to the Ming Dynasty. The red accents on the dragon’s scales further enhance its auspicious meaning, as red is the color of luck, joy, and prosperity in Chinese tradition. When you use this gaiwan, you’re not just brewing tea—you’re holding a piece of living history that blends art, culture, and timeless symbolism.
