Authentic Jingdezhen Porcelain Gaiwan 4.4oz – Traditional 3-Piece Chinese Tea Set

What Is a Gaiwan?

A gaiwan is a classic 3-piece traditional Chinese brewing vessel consisting of a lid, a bowl, and a saucer. Dating back to the 17th century Qing Dynasty, it is one of the most beloved and versatile tools for preparing loose leaf tea, embodying the core philosophy of Chinese tea culture.

Our Authentic Jingdezhen Gaiwan Design & Heritage

This handcrafted gaiwan follows the traditional “Sancai” (Three Talents) design: the lid represents heaven, the bowl represents humanity, and the saucer represents earth. This structure reflects the ancient Chinese philosophy of “harmony between heaven and humanity”, turning every brew into a peaceful, mindful ritual.

We offer this beautiful gaiwan in two distinct, elegant finishes to match your personal style:

• Cyan: A soft, jade-like celadon glaze with delicate natural crackle (kaiping) texture that develops unique patina over time, bringing the calm tranquility of nature to your tea table.
• Black: A matte, soft磨砂 black finish with a grounded, modern rustic feel that fits perfectly in both minimalist contemporary and traditional spaces.

Each gaiwan is crafted from high-quality porcelain at Jingdezhen, China’s world-famous “Porcelain Capital” with over 1,000 years of ceramic-making history. The interior is finished with a clean, bright white glaze that makes it easy to monitor your tea’s color and strength as you brew.

Why Brew With This Gaiwan?

Gaiwan brewing is favored by tea lovers around the world for its flexibility and clarity of flavor. The porous porcelain retains heat perfectly without altering the natural aroma and taste of any tea type, from light and floral green teas to rich, oxidized black teas, oolongs, and aged pu-erh.

The simple three-part structure makes brewing intuitive:

1. Add your loose leaf tea to the bowl
2. Pour in hot water, use the lid to push stray tea leaves and foam away from the edge
3. Hold the saucer to avoid burnt fingers, and pour directly into your tasting cups

With a convenient 4.4oz (130ml) capacity and dimensions of 4″ (10cm) diameter x 3.3″ (8.5cm) height, this gaiwan is perfectly sized for personal daily brewing or small gatherings with friends.

Perfect For Every Occasion

This handcrafted Jingdezhen gaiwan is ideal for:

• Daily mindful tea drinking at home or in the office
• Traditional gongfu tea ceremonies and casual tea tastings
• A unique, thoughtful gift for tea lovers, housewarmings, birthdays, or holidays
