Discover the Timeless Tradition of This Hand Painted Gaiwan
The gaiwan (literally “lidded bowl”) is one of the oldest and most beloved traditional Chinese tea brewing vessels, dating back over 1,000 years to the Song Dynasty. Revered by tea masters for its simplicity and functionality, this hand-painted blue and white porcelain gaiwan brings authentic Chinese tea culture to your home.
Why Choose This Hand Painted Gaiwan?
- Premium Porcelain Material: Fired at high temperature, this durable porcelain gaiwan is non-porous, does not absorb tea flavors, and preserves the natural aroma of every brew, from delicate green teas to rich oolongs and full-bodied black teas. It’s also easy to clean and maintain for long-term use.
- Perfect 120ml (4oz) Capacity: Measuring 3.6″ (9.1cm) in diameter by 3.3″ (8.4cm) tall, this medium-small size is ideal for single daily personal brewing or small tea gatherings with 1-2 guests. It keeps tea warm longer than extra-large gaiwans, without requiring frequent refills.
- Authentic Blue and White Hand Painted Design: Each gaiwan features hand-painted traditional Chinese motifs in classic blue and white porcelain style, with two elegant patterns to choose from. Every piece is unique, combining centuries-old ceramic art with functional daily use, making it as beautiful as it is practical.
- Thoughtful Ergonomic Design: The heat-resistant black knob on the lid lets you lift the lid comfortably without burning your fingers, while the rounded rim and curved bowl body fit naturally in your hand for smooth pouring. The lid works to skim tea foam and block loose leaves from pouring out, just as it has for generations.
Perfect For Every Occasion
This hand painted gaiwan fits seamlessly into many moments of your life:
- Daily solo tea tasting and relaxation at home
- Small casual tea gatherings with friends and family
- Professional茶艺 (Chinese tea art) performances and demonstrations
- Decorative display on a teahouse shelf, coffee table or home office desk to add a touch of elegant traditional Chinese style
