This is a Rustic porcelain "Cha Lou" (Strainer/Filter) that features calligraphy from the renowned "Lan Ting Ji Xu" by Wang Xizhi, a master of calligraphy in Chinese history. The "Lan Ting Ji Xu," or Orchid Pavilion Preface, written in 353 AD, is one of the most famous calligraphic works in Chinese culture. The script style on the gaiwan appears to be modeled after this esteemed piece.

The material, Rustic porcelain, is known for its rustic and simplistic beauty, which often provides a natural and traditional feel to tea ware. This kind of pottery typically has a more textured surface compared to fine porcelain, which is fitting for the traditional aesthetic of Gongfu Chadao tea sets.

This "Cha Lou" combines both functionality and artistry, making it not just a tool for straining tea but also a collector's item that embodies a piece of Chinese history. Its design is likely intended to enhance the ritualistic and cultural experience of Gongfu tea drinking, connecting the user to the long history of Chinese tea culture through its significant calligraphic adornment.

John has been nothing but patient and wonderful as I went through in selecting the best cup for my gongfu tea practice. After a dozen exchanges I finally decided on the cup and what was available. After receiving the cups a few days ago, I was pleased at the quality. They hold heat incredibly well and are aesthetically beautiful. The calligraphy is the beginning of a poem written by a famous poet centuries ago. Thank you John!
