Inspired by the majestic vermilion hues of the Forbidden City (紫禁城 / 故宮), this pure-color glaze edition captures the timeless dignity and imperial elegance of Qing Dynasty aesthetics. The rich, vibrant red—known as "Palace Red" (故宮紅)—symbolizes prosperity, power, and auspicious energy, a color once reserved exclusively for emperors and sacred spaces.
Forbidden City (紫禁城/故宮)
This classic covered gaiwan adopts a simple two-piece design of bowl and lid, inheriting traditional tea-making aesthetics with restrained and luxurious texture, perfectly presenting understated oriental charm for daily tea appreciation.
