What Is a Gaiwan Tea Set?
A gaiwan (meaning ‘lidded bowl’ in Chinese) is the classic traditional Chinese tea brewing vessel with over 1,000 years of history. This complete set includes a bowl, a fitting lid, and a matching saucer, designed for easy, controlled tea brewing that brings out the best flavor of your favorite leaves.
Key Features of This 150ml Modern Gaiwan Tea Set
- Premium High-Fired Ceramic: Kiln-fired ceramic with a smooth, glossy glaze that resists staining, is heat-stable, and easy to clean after use
- Artisan Aesthetic: Deep blue base with gradient blue-green glaze, detailed golden illustrations of deer, mountains, and birds inspired by traditional Chinese landscape art. The ‘deer’ (lu) in Chinese is a homophone for ‘prosperity and good fortune’, making this gaiwan a meaningful symbol of good luck
- Perfect Single-Serve Size: 5oz / 150ml capacity fits one full serving of tea for personal enjoyment, or can be used to share small portions at casual tea gatherings. Ergonomic design fits comfortably in your hand for smooth pouring
- Practical Functional Design: The lid strains loose leaves while pouring, the black grip knob stays cool to touch, and the matching saucer catches spills to protect your table and prevent burned fingers
