Know before you buy
The pitcher is designed with a tapering shape that features a weighted, thicker base, which provides a natural, secure grip. The ergonomic profile allows you to hold the body comfortably while maintaining steady control during the pour.
While it is a handcrafted artisanal piece, it is fully functional for daily tea service. The porcelain is durable enough for regular use, though it requires hand washing to preserve the delicate glaze and hand-cut details.
This is designed as a serving pitcher (cha hai or fairness cup) rather than a brewing vessel. It does not include an infuser or strainer, so it is best used to hold and distribute tea that has already been steeped in a separate teapot or gaiwan.
The pitcher holds 150 ml, or approximately 5.07 ounces. This size is ideal for serving tea for one to two people, matching the capacity of most standard gongfu-style teapots.
Yes, the unique rim design is functional as well as aesthetic. The subtle notches and the flared shape help guide the liquid into a clean, precise stream, minimizing drips and spills when serving.
Because this is a handcrafted piece with a specific glaze finish, it is not dishwasher, microwave, or freezer safe. We recommend washing it gently by hand with mild soap and warm water to maintain its appearance.
