Know before you buy
This is a Gong Dao Bei, or fairness pitcher. Its main function is to decant brewed tea from your teapot to ensure every cup poured has a consistent strength and flavor profile.
The pitcher features a traditional Kāi Piàn crackle glaze. As you use it, the tea liquor seeps into these fine fissures, gradually deepening the pattern and creating a unique, personalized patina.
No, this piece is not dishwasher, microwave, or freezer safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with warm water to preserve the integrity of the crystalline glaze.
The pitcher is designed to be held by the body. While ceramic retains heat, it is intended for standard tea service temperatures; however, if you are using boiling water, we recommend handling it carefully near the top rim.
This pitcher holds 160ml, which is approximately 5.41 fluid ounces. It is sized perfectly for intimate tea sessions or individual servings.
