Our sweet Yixing Gaiwan, and two matching cups. The perfect size (150ml) for one or two people, this glazed Yixing Gaiwan is great as a simple, no frills brewing vessel. Outside un glazed yixing style clay. Inside glazed white. Two matching cups are each approximately 20 ml. The gaiwan was originally intended to be used for drinking tea, where you simply bring the cup to your lips and use the lid to prevent the leaves from entering your mouth. However, gaiwans are often used as a brewing vessel, with the decanted tea being served in a separate cup. The lid is held against the cup so that the leaves are filtered out. Show more
