What Is a Gaiwan?
A gaiwan is a classic traditional Chinese lidded tea bowl, cherished for centuries by tea lovers for its simple, versatile design that lets you fully control the tea brewing process. This modern handcrafted version combines timeless gaiwan functionality with contemporary minimalist aesthetics, perfect for every tea lover.
Handcrafted Unique Artisan Design
This stunning gaiwan features a bold matte black base accented with hand-brushed white stripes that carry subtle natural earthy brown undertones. Each stripe has one-of-a-kind brush marks that come from the artisanal hand-forming process, so no two gaiwans are exactly alike. The clean contrast of black and white fits perfectly with modern, bohemian, and traditional home decor alike, adding a touch of tranquil elegance to any tea table or countertop.
Premium Quality Ceramic for Perfect Brewing
Made from high-fired food-safe lead-free ceramic, this gaiwan has just the right porosity to retain heat evenly while letting tea leaves unfurl and release their full flavor. The durable smooth glaze is easy to clean and resists staining, so you can brew different types of tea without mixing flavors.
Ergonomic Practical Design for Everyday Use

- Dimensions: 3.2″ (8.2cm) tall x 3.7″ (9.4cm) wide – perfectly sized for comfortable handling

How To Use Your Gaiwan
Using your gaiwan is simple: add your loose leaf tea to the bowl, pour in hot water, place the lid on top and steep to your desired strength. Hold the bowl with one hand, tilt the lid slightly to hold back tea leaves, and pour your brewed tea directly into a cup or sharing pitcher. The open design lets you see your tea as it brews and adjust steep time easily to get your perfect flavor every time.
Perfect For Any Occasion
Whether you’re brewing a morning cup of green tea, an afternoon session of oolong, or a relaxing evening pu-erh, this handcrafted gaiwan works beautifully with all tea types. It’s perfect for daily home use, small gatherings with friends, or as a striking centerpiece for a formal tea ceremony. It also makes a thoughtful unique gift for tea lovers, housewarmings, birthdays, and anyone who appreciates handcrafted home goods.
