💎 The "Exact Pair" Guarantee You are looking at the exact pair you will receive. This is a Collector's Grade  listing for Pair #CWW-20. We have photographed this specific set so you can inspect its exquisite, maze-like texture.

  • Stock: 1 of 1 (Single Inventory)
  • Status: Available immediately

[The Story: "Ci Wa Wa" ] The "Porcelain Doll" is one of the most elegant varieties in the walnut world.

  • The Name: It is named for its shell quality. The ridges are thin, crisp, and intricate, resembling the "Crackle Glaze" (Ge Yao) found on ancient Chinese porcelain.
  • The Sound: Because the shell is high-density but the walls are distinct, when you roll them, they produce a crisp, ceramic-like ringing sound—unlike the dull thud of common walnuts.

[Why is Pair #CWW-20 marked "Collector's Grade"?]

  • Exquisite "Crackle" Texture: Look at the close-up photos. The ridges are not messy; they form a sophisticated, brain-like network that is highly defined. This level of texture clarity is what separates a "toy" from a "collection piece".
  • Perfect Roundness: With dimensions of 3.9cm x 3.7cm, this pair has a stunningly round profile. It feels full and smooth in the hand, like holding two precious orbs.
  • Flawless Base: The bottom (base) is tight and tidy, ensuring the walnut sits perfectly upright when displayed.

[Specifications]

  • Variety: Porcelain Doll (Ci Wa Wa)
  • SKU: #CWW-20
  • Size: Approx. 39mm x 37mm (The Golden Ratio)
  • Grade: Collector's Level 
  • Condition: Deep cleaned, Raw shell.
  • Highlight: Crisp acoustic sound and glaze-like texture.

🛡️ Care Guide: Treat like Fine China Although they are wood, treat them with the delicacy of porcelain until they harden.

✅ DO:

  • Brush Gently: The ridges on "Porcelain Dolls" are thinner and sharper than Lion Heads. Use a soft nanometer brush to keep the "glaze" pattern clean.
  • Listen: Enjoy the sound. This variety is famous for its acoustic properties.
  • Rest Them: Let them adjust to your room temperature for 12 hours before playing.

❌ DON'T:

  • NO Drops: Because the ridges are crisp, they can chip if dropped on hard stone or tile. Always play over a carpet or sofa.
  • NO Water: Do not wash them.
  • NO A/C: Keep away from direct air conditioning vents to preserve the shell's integrity.

Incredible service, I ordered a pair that sadly could not be shipped on account of a website error. Normally that would be a red flag; in this case however, an agent reached out to me immediately, allowed me to pick out an even higher quality pair and included some very thoughtful gifts. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and what started out as a mistake will have me returning here first whenever I want to expand my collection.

Class acts!

I ordered my Wenwans about 13 days ago. After contacting this company about a shipping issue they were able to solve it immediately as well as to rush the order. Literally just got mine today and they are absolutely gorgeous and very large! My Pair# is DGM-901. These are my very first high grades ones. Bought some crappy amazon ones for like 6 bucks to practice. I cannot wait to start my journey with these. I highly recommend this company for their outstanding customer service and quality control!

Thank you!

These guys a great. Walnuts are high quality, and what you see is what you get, no random pairs that you may not like.
I've got 5 pairs off of them so far, and none have any flaws: no yellowing, pin holes, worm marks or cracks.
I'm not an expert, but I can't detect any dyes or processing on the nuts I have received.
They get back to you quickly if you have questions or issues.

Shipping is a couple weeks to canada since its off shore orgin. No big deal.

I do wish they would post the weights of the pairs as well in the listings, but this is minor.

I consider Zenwalnut to be the best north american walnut vendor hands down.

The box it came with is great and well made. The walnuts are out of this world. I don’t know how you find a three ridge mutation (Spartan motif) with such a good pairing. Even the basins complement each other, one elavated and the other depressed so they fit together. I highly recommend this seller if you want a reliable place where you can find rare, high quality walnuts. What you see in the pictures and videos is what you get. These are my second pair from zenwalnuts and I love both of them, thank you

The first pair I bought was a pair of minis, Packaging was amazing! Display case, and brushes were all under $100. I've been using them for just over a week. Excellent quality, I have dropped them once on accident of course over concrete while outside on the patio. I was quite concerned, I gave them a look over and no cracks, chips, or scratches were found. I am now looking into higher valued pairs. I will be buying other pairs for birthday gifts and collections. I posted them on FB and will continue to keep updates of the transformation every so often.
