Handmade Chinese Zisha Vintage Gaiwan Tea Set 200 ml
$56.95
This 200ml (6.76 fl oz) three piece gaiwan is handcrafted from raw ore Golden Duan Clay and fired at high temperature. This premium raw clay boasts a warm, fine grained texture that develops a natural, lustrous patina gradually with daily brewing use. The hand painted flower and bird motif grows more vivid and rich in texture as the patina matures over time.
Purple clay’s signature dual pore structure delivers exceptional breathability and superior aroma retention. During brewing, it gently unlocks the full intrinsic character of your tea leaves, softens bitter and astringent notes in the liquor, locks in the tea’s aroma without dissipation, and fully brings out the nuanced, layered flavor profile of every tea variety.
Authentic Golden Duan Yixing Purple Clay
This lotus and kingfisher gaiwan is crafted from Golden Duan clay, a premium grade of Yixing purple clay, featuring the material’s signature dual pore structure. When brewing, it elevates the aroma and mouthfeel of your tea liquor, softening any bitter or astringent notes for a smoother brew. Unlike standard white porcelain or glass tea ware, the dense Golden Duan clay body will not absorb residual tea flavors or cause cross scenting between different brews. It is suitable for all tea types, meaning this single gaiwan can fulfill all of your tea brewing needs.
Hand Painted Lotus and Kingfisher Motif
The hand painted lotus and kingfisher design on this gaiwan carries rich auspicious symbolism in Chinese culture. The kingfisher has long been revered as a lucky messenger of good news, representing upcoming joyful events, peace and happiness, while the lotus and seed pod symbolize fulfillment, smooth sailing in all endeavors, and steady growth in life. Every piece features a completely unique, one of a kind hand painted design.
