Key Benefits

Authentic Wood-Fired Finish:** Fired in a traditional wood kiln, each gaiwan boasts a unique, rustic texture and subtle variations in the glaze, making your piece truly one-of-a-kind.

Exquisite Hand-Painted Artistry:** Adorned with a classic blue and white underglaze design, the hand-painted still-life motif brings a touch of scholarly grace and timeless beauty to your tea table.

Classic Gaiwan Form:** The three-piece set—lid, bowl, and saucer—is perfectly balanced for traditional tea preparation, allowing for precise control over your brew and a full appreciation of the tea's aroma.

Designed for the Tea Connoisseur:** The flared rim of the bowl provides a comfortable grip and helps protect your fingers from heat, ensuring a graceful and enjoyable pouring experience.

How to Use

1. **Warm the Vessel:** Rinse the gaiwan (bowl, lid, and saucer) with hot water to preheat it.

2. **Add Tea Leaves:** Place your desired amount of tea leaves into the warmed bowl.

3. **Pour and Steep:** Gently pour hot water over the leaves, cover with the lid, and steep according to your tea's specific requirements.

4. **Serve:** Tilt the lid slightly to create a small opening. Hold the gaiwan with your thumb and middle finger on the bowl's rim and use your index finger to secure the lid's knob. Pour the infused tea into a cup or fairness pitcher, using the lid as a built-in strainer.

Care & Safety

To preserve the delicate hand-painted details and unique glaze, hand washing with warm water is recommended.

Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive sponges.

To prevent thermal shock and potential cracking, do not expose the gaiwan to sudden and extreme temperature changes (e.g., pouring cold water into a hot vessel).
