Yue Chao mastered in ceramics at the prestigious Qinghua Fine Arts Academy in Beijing, and has been wood-firing porcelain in Jingdezhen since the first of the new-kiln technology was brought over from Japan. With an artists eye and a meticulous hand, each of his pieces are pristinely crafted and expertly fired. It is hard to achieve this level of perfection and consistency, which is why we adore Yue Chao and his work. The Dragon's Breath Brew Cups are our favorite brew cups to use hands down. The rustic look and feel of each piece and the fact that no two of these are ever alike (this batch of dragon's breath brew cups all got a lot of action in the kiln) make this line one of our favorite batches of brew cups we have carried. The mix of matte and gloss from one side to another mixed with the rustic charcoal blue and fine orange make them just as amazing to look at as they are to use. Note: All of these gaiwans are between 90-100ml but because of nature of being handmade and gaiwan capacities being a bit subjective we left capacity off the individual pieces. If the 10ml is really important to you, the gaiwans that have a more angular wall creating a "v" or vase shape are slightly smaller and the more rounded "u" or bowl shape are slightly larger on average.
