[清本源 x Gohobi Gallery] Blue & White Douli Gaiwan with Inner-Impressed Lotus Motif – “Ode to Peace” Design (110ml)

This small douli-style gaiwan is a quiet vessel of blessing, drawing from Buddhist symbolism and classical blue-and-white porcelain to express wishes for peace, harmony, and well-being.

Inside the gaiwan, a lotus motif is delicately inner-impressed beneath the glaze. Rather than appearing on the surface, the lotus emerges softly from within the porcelain body, lending the piece a restrained and contemplative presence. In Buddhist culture, the lotus symbolises purity, clarity, and awakening—rising unstained from the mud, it reflects the aspiration for inner peace amid the complexities of life.

The blue-and-white decoration is paired with the concept of the “Ode to Peace,” a phrase rooted in Buddhist scripture and chanting traditions. It represents prayers not only for personal safety and happiness, but also for harmony, stability, and balance within the wider world. In Buddhist practice, such verses are often used as chants or hymns for blessing and dispelling misfortune, carrying both spiritual intention and cultural depth. Through this gaiwan, those wishes are translated into ceramic form, allowing each tea session to become a gentle moment of reflection and calm.

The form follows the classic douli gaiwan silhouette, inspired by historical tea wares and refined for modern use. Its proportions allow tea to open smoothly while remaining comfortable in the hand, making it well suited for mindful gongfu brewing.
