Hand-Thrown Gaiwan /Teacup

Real craftsmanship needs no guessing. One look, one touch — you’ll know.

Why choose hand-thrown porcelain?

Every piece is shaped directly on the potter’s wheel. It isn’t pressed by a machine or released from a mold. The walls rise naturally from the artisan’s hands — thinner toward the rim, lighter in the hand, and full of life.

How to tell if it’s truly handmade? Here are two quick tests:

1. The base shape — can you lift it easily?

• Machine-made:
  The base has a curved shape so it can be released from a mold. Because of this, you can barely pinch or lift it with your fingers.

• Hand-thrown:
  The base is straight and vertical. You can easily pick it up with a light grip.

2. Thick or thin — look near the rim

• Machine-made:
  It’s pressed from top to bottom, so the area near the rim is intentionally made thicker to prevent deformation during firing.

• Hand-thrown:
  It’s shaped from bottom to top on the wheel. The closer it gets to the rim, the thinner and more delicate it becomes.

3. Shine a light through it — the truth appears instantly

• Machine-made:
  You’ll see a darker shadow near the rim where the thickened section is.

• Hand-thrown:
  The light passes through evenly. The porcelain looks clean, smooth, and luminous — almost like jade.
