Experience the timeless art of traditional tea brewing with this handcrafted Black Clay gaiwan, a compact and elegant tea brewing essential designed for solo sipping and small tea gatherings.

What is a Gaiwan?

A gaiwan is the classic traditional Chinese lidded tea bowl, consisting of three parts: a base bowl, a lid, and a foot. For centuries, it has been the preferred brewing vessel for all types of tea, valued for its precise control over steeping time and clean, smooth pouring. This compact Japanese-style version brings the traditional gaiwan experience to modern daily life and travel.

Unique Design & Handcrafted Beauty

This gaiwan features a warm deep black-brown glazed exterior with hand-thrown spiral textures that flow naturally across the surface. No two pieces are exactly alike – this subtle uniqueness is part of the handcrafted beauty that makes your gaiwan one-of-a-kind. The crisp white interior lets you clearly see your tea’s color as it unfolds, while the minimalist, earthy aesthetic blends seamlessly with both traditional tea spaces and modern home decor.

Thoughtfully engineered for comfortable use: the flared rim and stable foot fit perfectly in your hand, helping you avoid burns while controlling pour angle and speed for clean, mess-free serving. The lid fits snugly to seal in heat and flavor during steeping, and leaves just the right gap to strain tea leaves when pouring.
