Chunlang Tao - Daily Dramas Hidden in Steam — Illustrated Narrative Gaiwan 500 ml

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55124727525_3106094dc3_b.jpg **Product Introduction:** **Design Concept and Narrative** This is more than just a noodle bowl; it's a three-dimensional "illustrated book of life." Crafted using the potter's wheel, the vessel possesses a stable, tactile thickness. The bowl body and lid are meticulously decorated with **underglaze painting**, weaving furry companions, window scenes, and natural landscapes into the clay. As steam rises upon lifting the lid, the small bird finial on the lid and the white dog resting on the grass seem to awaken in the mist. This "user-defined" design philosophy allows each person to read their own warm story within the confines of the vessel during quiet meal times. **Craftsmanship Details: A Dialogue Between Tradition and Modernity** Potter's Wheel and Squeezing Techniques: The bowl's structure is formed on the potter's wheel, combined with traditional "squeezing techniques" to create rich surface textures, allowing the patterns and the clay body to engage in a tactile dialogue. Anti-Scald Functional Aesthetics: Considering user experience, unique anti-scald handles are designed on both sides, allowing for elegant and effortless handling even when holding hot soups. Underglaze Storybook Style: Unlike the monotony of mass-produced wares, underglaze painting imparts a pure, unfading color. Combined with brushstrokes reminiscent of an illustrated book, it strikes a perfect balance between functionality and artistry. **User Defined: A Story Yet to Unfold** At Chunlang Tao, we believe that the final form of a vessel is defined by its user. When the aroma of hot noodles meets the bird on the lid, this piece transitions from display to daily life. It carries not just food, but also those moments of self-rewarding solitude within a busy life. The name "Chunlang" (春郎) is a fusion of our parents' affection; and this vessel is dedicated to everyone who cherishes the everyday. Amidst life's trivialities, we build a gentle haven with clay. Every lift and set down is an intimate encounter with art. **💡 Thoughtful Usage Reminder** This piece is crafted from general pottery clay, not heat-resistant casserole clay. **Please do not heat directly over an open flame** (such as gas stoves, charcoal, etc.) to ensure the integrity of the clay structure and the beauty of the glaze. It is recommended for serving food, allowing beauty to safely integrate into every meal. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55124727635_431235b58c_b.jpg **Product Specifications:** ✦ Item: Noodle Bowl x 1 ✦ Features: Illustrated art style, functional anti-scald design ✦ Material: Pottery clay, food-grade glaze ✦ Accessories: None ✦ Dimensions: Height 11.5 cm (with lid), Mouth Diameter 16.5 cm, Width including handle 19.3 cm. ✦ Capacity: Approximately 500 ml ✦ Weight: Approximately 726g ✦ Origin: Made in Taiwan **Notes:** ✦ Handcrafted vessels fired at high temperatures (1230-1250°C) will exhibit variations in glaze color and clay texture.
