Handmade Black Lacquer Tea Waste Bowl with Seal Script

Lacquer Series

Handmade in Dehua, Fujian, this Jian Shui (tea waste bowl) is a true piece of lacquerware. It keeps raw, weathered, and incomplete edges—dark brown like aged wood, with green lacquer settling in like moss slowly growing on a damp mountain wall. The form is not perfectly round; its natural blunt contours hold faint gold seal-script marks that look less like decoration and more like traces left by time.
