Yunshan Blue Crane & Waves Gaiwan
$230.00The Yunshan ("Mountain Clouds") blue glaze on this gaiwan recalls the hue of distant mountains after rain — a soft, translucent sky blue inspired by the poetic landscapes of traditional Chinese painting. Upon this serene backdrop, a lone crane flies above stylized golden waves.
In Chinese culture, the crane (hè) is a revered emblem of longevity, wisdom, and noble spirit. Here, its elegance is set against the ceaseless motion of the sea, whose waves symbolize abundance, vitality, and fortune flowing without end. The gold accents at the rim, knob, and foot ring lend a sense of refinement, echoing the treasured nature of the symbols they frame.
Together, sky, sea, and crane form a tableau that speaks of a life both long and full, rooted in harmony with nature yet open to all that is boundless.
