What is a Gaiwan?
A Gaiwan is a traditional 3-piece Chinese teaware set consisting of a bowl, a lid, and a saucer, dating back over 1,000 years to China’s Ming Dynasty. Revered by tea lovers worldwide for its versatility, it lets you fully control your tea steeping process while bringing a calm, intentional ritual to your daily tea time.
Timeless Minimalist Gaiwan Design
This vintage-inspired white porcelain Gaiwan blends classic Chinese teaware heritage with modern minimalist style. Crafted from premium white porcelain, it features a crisp, pure white body accented with a delicate thin blue rim along the edges of the lid, bowl, and saucer. The soft glossy finish and subtle translucency bring quiet elegance to any table, home, or tea ceremony.
