Description
A classic three-piece gaiwan with a broad blue-and-white lotus pattern. The lid, bowl and saucer give you direct control over short infusions, making it a practical first gaiwan rather than a piece reserved for display.
Why we selected it
A gaiwan has no hidden mechanism: tilt the lid to strain, hold the saucer, and pour. The form makes leaf color and aroma easy to observe and works across many loose-leaf tea styles.
What to expect
The white porcelain body carries cobalt lotus and scrolling motifs. A raised foot and fitted saucer keep the hot bowl off the table and support traditional handling.
- Complete lid-bowl-saucer form
- Broad cobalt lotus decoration
- Suitable for short loose-leaf infusions
- Clear white interior makes tea color easy to see

Material & Craft
The white porcelain body carries cobalt lotus and scrolling motifs. A raised foot and fitted saucer keep the hot bowl off the table and support traditional handling.
The Making
A gaiwan has no hidden mechanism: tilt the lid to strain, hold the saucer, and pour. The form makes leaf color and aroma easy to observe and works across many loose-leaf tea styles.
Care
Rinse soon after tea, hand wash, and avoid knocking the lid against the bowl rim.
The clear white interior is more useful than it looks—you can actually read the color of the liquor. The bowl is intended for short pours, not for holding by the body like a large mug.
