About This Jun Kiln Gaiwan Tea Set
This handcrafted Jun Kiln gaiwan tea set is a classic example of the centuries-old ‘Sancai Wan’ (三才碗, Three Talent Bowl) design, where the lid represents sky, the bowl represents earth, and the saucer represents humanity – embodying the harmonious core of traditional Chinese philosophy and tea culture.
Originating from the famous Song Dynasty Jun Kiln tradition, this gaiwan features unique naturally formed glaze streaks and speckles that make every piece truly one-of-a-kind. No two sets share the same pattern, giving your tea ritual a special personal touch.
