Our absolute favorite Gaiwan! Functionally, it’s easy to hold and has a smooth pour; aesthetically, it is painted by mixing real 99 silver and has a subtle glow. It’s baked in kiln twice at temperature 820C/1508F. It has a rustic texture on the outside, but the inside is painted with cherry like red color. It comes in two different styles and it also comes as a set with a tea tray. This Gaiwan is made by a local artisan in Jing De Zhen, which is the cradle of pottery and ceramics in China.

United StatesAside from the obvious beauty of its artistic-rustic appearance, this gaiwan functions better than most. Pour with confidence! This gem has seen daily duty since arrival. I like it so much I just carried it on a five day canoe adventure in North Maine Woods, and glow at sunrise it did!
United StatesSerene Tea describes this handmade gaiwan as their favorite gaiwan. Trying my own hand at it could very well make it my favorite gaiwan too. The tea bowl and lid are masterfully executed. The walls aren't too thick or too thin, and it handles just right in the hand, as fully functional as it should be. But by far, my favorite part is the finish, which uses actual silver in its process to project a striking look that is both sleek and sensually organic.
