Know before you buy
No, the crystalline glaze is a reactive finish that creates unique, star-like patterns on each piece. Because of this process, the specific texture and pattern of your gaiwan will be one-of-a-kind.
This gaiwan is designed primarily for personal tea sessions. While it can serve two people for small, concentrated pours, it is best suited for an individual looking to appreciate the nuances of a single tea variety.
The shape is specifically crafted to provide a secure grip, which is essential when handling hot porcelain. The balance between the bowl and the saucer allows for a steady, controlled pour without burning your fingers.
While the porcelain is durable, we recommend hand-washing this set to preserve the integrity and luster of the crystalline glaze over time. Avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the delicate surface.
Yes, the porcelain material is non-porous and neutral, meaning it will not retain flavors from previous brews. It is an excellent choice for switching between different types of tea, such as green, oolong, or black.
