Handmade Rustic Ceramic Gaiwan 5.7oz – Traditional Chinese Lidded Tea Bowl with Lotus Saucer

Discover the Timeless Tradition of the Gaiwan

A gaiwan (literally “lidded bowl”) is the iconic traditional Chinese teaware with over 1,000 years of history, beloved for its versatility, elegance, and ability to bring out the purest flavor of any tea. This handcrafted gaiwan set brings authentic Chinese tea culture right to your home, blending natural artistry with everyday functionality.

Handcrafted Artistry & Natural Design

Every piece of this gaiwan set is carefully shaped by hand from high-fired coarse ceramic, leaving one-of-a-kind organic textures that give each set its own unique character. The glaze features natural kiln-fired color variations that create a warm, antique metallic finish in deep earthy brown and bronze tones, with subtle gradients that glow softly under light.

Inspired by nature, this set features charming organic details: a lotus-shaped knob on the lid for easy gripping, a wavy-edged lotus leaf saucer, and delicate hand-carved spiral or vertical textures across the bowl. These natural motifs reflect traditional Chinese philosophy of harmony with nature, bringing a quiet, poetic Zen charm to your tea ritual.

Perfect Size and Practical Function

This gaiwan holds 5.7oz (170ml), an ideal size for single servings or casual small tea gatherings. It is perfect for brewing almost any type of tea, from delicate green teas to rich aged pu-erh. The porous ceramic retains heat beautifully, while the wide opening lets you easily observe the tea’s color and steep to your preferred strength.

The included lotus-shaped saucer does more than just add beauty: it stabilizes the bowl, catches drips, and insulates against heat to protect your hands and table surface.
