Krásné fotografie od Tee Kontor Kiel

O mé oblibě k tomuto povrchu už není potřeba nic napsat... M8m tušení, že bych se opakoval... Snad jen, že nezačne nudit... Stále je co objevovat a má sklony žít, stárnout, zrát s tím ja se g*iwan bude používat.

Co je GAIWAN, aneb co jsem našel v textu Tee Kontor Kiel, kde je g*iwanů z mé tvorby vícero.

"Gajwan je tradičním nádobím pro přípravu čaje v Číně a to od počátku dynastie Ming tedy kolem roku 1350. Nazývá se také gaj-wan nebo gaj-bej (zakrytá miska nebo šálek). Gaj-wan se používá jak k přípravě čaje do šálku, tak i k přímému pití čaje. Díky své funkčnosti, jednoduché eleganci a snadnému použití je gaj-wan v Číně široce používaným čajovým nádobím."

Já jen mohu dodat, že tuto nádobu na přípřavu čaje používám snad nejčastěji a to už přes dvacet let... Více než tři roky je tvořím pravidelně... Hraju si s detaily, aby fungoval lépe a lépe, ale zároveň si zachoval hravost. 🙂

GAIWAN has been the traditional ware for preparing tea in China since the beginning of the MING DYNASTY around 1350. Also called g*i wan or g*ibei (covered bowl or cup). The g*iwan is used for both preparing tea to cup or directly for drinking a tea. Its functionality, simple elegance, and ease of use, the g*iwan is a widely used teaware in China.

CHAWAN HANDBUILT

wood-fired

diameter at top edge: approx. 11 cm

height: approx. 8 cm

iron clay, engobe, feldspar glaze

Beautiful pictures from

You CAN FlND CHAWAN and other teaware in their collection of unique creation.

I used primitive technique of handbuilding known as TEZUKUNE [a slab-forming technique].

"Tezukune [a slab-forming technique] with no wheel intervening between the hand and the clay. What you feel with your hands and your whole body, and see with your eyes, is what you get. That’s how we create tea bowls endowed with the warmth and gentle rounded form of a human hand."

Morocco (spring 2026)

Awake by the muezzin and his call to prayer, or by the sun, or by the rooster.

Morning msemmen, a local type of pancake. I like with with honey, or thick morning beans soup, bissara, with olive oil and chubzun (Moroccan bread). Anyway, green tea with both. Often just strong Chinese green gunpowder... Always sweetened tea. Simly green tea for bissara, or with wormwood. Always mint tea for msemmen.

After breakfast I walk past small shops with incense: camphor, myrrh, incense, various oriental mixtures, sandalwood, agarwood.

I walk past the entrances to mosques, to shops with handmade carpets, jewelry, clothes, shoes... Small, small, small... All the shops are small and next to each other. Mostly You can see owner of shop, how he sit inside.

In the meantime, another bistro with bissara, msemen, tea or coffee.

Joy, a small space, a few stools, a table and one teapot, one pot of soup.

I am in the medina, for example in Fez, my beloved old district... My attention goes to the walls, to the plaster, to the cement ornamental tiles, to the touch... I am in a large gallery, from romanticism, impressionism (the play of light, the softness of colors but also of forms) to abstraction... I stop, I am absorbed by the beauty that was created only by chance. The palette of colors, beauty of bricks, wood, plaster... Time created beauty scene "A color abstraction... the diversity of materials." A perfect painting.

And I always stop somewhere, drink tea, browse the shops... I sit with the locals people over tea...

In every city I find my favorite place, where I return daily, where the nice locals people are... I so-called waste time, I linger, I observe, I am ready and anything from conversations to giving and taking. I let myself be hosted, I host. Here I get tea, there I offer tea... Here I put my hand to work, here I just sit and observe. Slowly I put down roots!

So this is my travel... "I don't see much of that in that country". I am just an admirer of the microworld, lover of still lifes, human hearts and lives. I take time over tea, I sit, I look, I listen, I smell...

STORY OF FABRIC

A beautiful FABRIC DYED with river clay with a high iron content. This fabric is therefore nicknamed “MUD FABRIC”, in the original “bògòlanfini”. Originating from Mali. I am unable to determine the approximate age of the fabric, approximately the 1990s.

This fabric is very DENELY WOVEN and STRONG. I would compare it to the fabrics used to make military backpacks or tents.
