6.7oz Hand-carved Plum Blossom Ceramic Gaiwan, Traditional Chinese Tea Brewing Set

Discover the Traditional Charm of This Handcrafted Gaiwan

Rooted in centuries of Chinese tea culture, the gaiwan is one of the most elegant and practical tools for brewing loose leaf tea. This hand-carved plum blossom ceramic gaiwan brings together natural craftsmanship, cultural symbolism, and everyday functionality for tea lovers around the world.

Unique Design & Cultural Meaning of This Gaiwan

This 3-piece gaiwan set includes a bowl, lid, and saucer, crafted with thoughtful artistic detail:

• Artisanal Carved Detailing: The lid features a raised, hand-carved plum blossom with natural branch-shaped handle, bringing organic texture and easy, comfortable grip when lifting the lid. The lotus-shaped saucer adds soft, wavy edges that catch any spilled tea while elevating the aesthetic of your tea setup.
• Symbolic Plum Blossom Motif: In Chinese culture, the plum blossom is a beloved symbol of resilience, purity, and quiet elegance. Blooming through cold winter snow, it represents grace and strength—making this gaiwan as meaningful as it is beautiful.
• Warm, Earthy Palette: Deep warm brown and tan tones meet crisp white plum blossom detailing, with natural variations in glaze that give every piece one-of-a-kind rustic character.

Premium Material & Craftsmanship

This gaiwan is made from high-fired rough ceramic (zisha-style clay) with a naturally textured, matte finish:

• Naturally porous clay that helps retain heat perfectly for unlocking the full aroma and flavor of your favorite teas, especially oolongs, black teas, and aged puerh.
• With regular use, the ceramic will slowly develop a rich, warm patina, becoming more beautiful the more you enjoy it.
• Fired by hand to create durable, chip-resistant quality for daily use.

Practical Gaiwan Specs for Everyday Use

• Dimensions: 4.7in (12cm) diameter (with saucer) × 4.3in (10.8cm) height
• Capacity: 6.7oz (200ml) – the ideal size for 1-2 people to enjoy a full session of steeping.
• Set includes 3 pieces: tea bowl, tea lid, and lotus-shaped tea saucer.

How to Use Your Gaiwan

Using a gaiwan is simple and intuitive: add your loose leaf tea, pour hot water, use the lid to gently push tea leaves away from the spout as you pour, and enjoy. The lid can also be used to skim foam from the top of your brew, while the saucer protects your hands from heat and keeps your tea table clean.

Whether you’re building your first collection of traditional Chinese tea ware, looking for a unique gift for a tea lover, or want to add a touch of cultural elegance to your home, this hand-carved plum blossom gaiwan is the perfect choice.
