This Ru ware gaiwan is suitable for brewing all tea types, bringing out the optimal taste and flavor profile of every variety you steep. Its dense clay body will not absorb lingering tea flavors or cause cross scenting between brews, meaning this single gaiwan can meet all of your tea brewing needs.
The dense, smooth glaze resists tea stain buildup and flavor absorption, rinsing completely clean with warm water right after use. Even stubborn tea stains can be removed with a short soak, with no special maintenance required. The high temperature fired clay body is hard and dense, offering scratch and wear resistance as well as exceptional thermal shock resistance. It will not easily break under normal use, and is safe for cleaning in the dishwasher.
Unlike ordinary tea ware that shows wear and tear over time, this piece develops its own unique golden silk and iron wire crackle pattern with regular daily brewing. It grows richer and more warm in texture with every use, making it a tea ware piece you can enjoy and rely on for years to come.
The hand painted persimmon and cat motif is completely one of a kind, with a warm, comforting feel and auspicious symbolism. Unlike machine printed gaiwans, this hand painted design is fused to the clay body during the high temperature firing process, and will never wear or fade. Every single piece is a unique, hand crafted work.
