Equinox Glow - 40 ml Dai Cup
This Dai Gongfu Cha cup beautifully embodies the harmony of nature with its handcrafted design and naturals colors. It has been skillfully shaped and fired in the kiln, and then glazed to create a smooth surface.
The gradient hues, which range from deep browns to soft, muted blues, evoke the serenity of twilight skies and forest shadows, reminiscent of the earth’s natural balance. The rounded shape fits comfortably in the hand, bridging the gap between craftsmanship and nature’s beauty.

DAI-MINORITY TRADITIONAL TEAWARE
张老师 Zhang Laoshi's work
Zhang Laoshi's workshop is a real institution in Jinghong, Xishuangbanna; it is an ample courtyard with multiple traditional Dai buildings, hosting enough space for her work, for her kilns - including a Dragon kiln - , her beloved students, and of course an off-limits space where she develops new ideas.
There is also a small museum which gathers the pieces she has inherited by her family since five generations of Dai pottery masters in Banna.
Whereas Qiu Laoshi is the Dai tradition innovator, Ms. Zhang is the keeper of the original tradition and design, honed by her contemporary studies and a life of practice.
The soil she uses is sourced locally from Xishuangbanna, between the wild forests of Mengsong, Laobanzhang, and Yiwu. Each of her creations is a delicate and sincere expression of the Yunnan landscape, and all pieces bear her unique signature.
