Obsidian Silver Zisha – Lotus Gaiwan Set

Inspired by the symbolism of the lotus in Eastern tea culture, the Lotus Gaiwan Set from the Obsidian Silver Zisha Collection embodies purity, balance, and quiet refinement. The classic three-piece gaiwan structure (lid, bowl, and saucer) is designed for traditional Gongfu tea brewing, allowing precise control over aroma, temperature, and infusion strength.

Crafted from authentic zisha clay, the gaiwan features a deep obsidian-toned body with a naturally textured surface that enhances heat retention and provides a grounded, tactile feel during tea preparation. The exterior is sculpted with layered lotus relief details, giving the piece a sculptural presence while maintaining ergonomic handling and pouring stability.

Each piece is finished using a handcrafted silver gilding technique. In this traditional process, silver is finely ground into powder and carefully brushed onto the vessel’s surface as decorative ornamentation. Through controlled heating or modern stabilization methods, the silver becomes firmly fixed within the zisha body, forming a textured and functional coating that enhances durability while adding lasting artistic value. This innovative craft not only elevates visual depth but also reinforces the longevity of the surface decoration.

Rooted in traditional craftsmanship and contemporary artistry, this gaiwan is ideal for Gongfu tea enthusiasts, collectors, and those seeking a statement piece that blends heritage material with refined silver detailing.
