Introducing a single edition gaiwan from our fourth batch, the Indian Dark Clay Gaiwan.
 
Following up on the old design language, this batch has one significant change, it is unglazed this time! This batch is also finished with an interesting process called burnishing, which is the method of making the surface smooth by polishing it using a smooth object, mostly stone or metal. This decreases the porosity of the ungalzed ware, making it food safe as well as allowing for a more even seasoning.
 
Compared to the sandalwood clay gaiwan, this one has a stronger muting effect due to the clay being coarser in texture, when it is raw as well as when finished. We have made only one piece from this clay body and are very happy to offer this handcrafted teaware made in India, from Indian clay by an Indian potter!
