A premium butter jade gaiwan made of top-grade Dehua Yang-Zhi-Yu (羊脂玉, "mutton-fat jade") ceramic — a special Dehua clay prized for its silky-soft texture and natural cream colour, much like fine jade. It's hand-painted with gold-lined aquatic life, a symbol of peace and prosperity. Difficult to make and a pleasure to own.

• Capacity: 150ml
• Material: Dehua Yang-Zhi-Yu (butter jade) ceramic, high-fired and food-safe for hot tea
• Glaze: natural cream with gold-lined aquatic painting
• Best for: green, white, yellow and oolong tea — the neutral glaze brews delicate teas cleanly and switches freely between them
