What is a Gaiwan?
A gaiwan is a classic 1,000-year-old traditional Chinese lidded tea bowl, designed for effortless, intuitive tea brewing. This three-piece set (lid, bowl, and saucer not included here) lets you control steep time perfectly, strain loose leaves naturally, and even drink directly from the bowl for a pure, unobstructed tea experience.
Handcrafted Petal-Shaped Longquan Celadon Gaiwan
This compact 3.7oz (110ml) gaiwan brings timeless Chinese ceramic artistry to your daily tea ritual. Crafted from authentic Longquan Celadon, a revered Chinese ceramic tradition dating back over 1,700 years, this piece features a soft, muted sage green glaze with a naturally smooth, glossy finish that feels gentle in your hand.
Unique Design & Aesthetic
Inspired by blooming flower petals, the gently fluted bowl shape adds delicate, organic rhythm to your tea table. A subtle light-toned edge detail runs along the rim of both the bowl and lid, adding subtle depth and highlighting the artisan craftsmanship behind every curve. The simple, sturdy lid knob is easy to grip, making pouring smooth and comfortable even for new gaiwan users.
