Description
Product Story
The clay is dressed in a plain warm-white glaze with a slightly stony, eggshell feel rather than a glassy shine. The concentric ridges are left visible instead of being polished away.
The forms are simple on purpose: a low gaiwan, a lipped bowl for decanting, and cups that sit naturally in the palm. Brewed tea shows amber and gold against the pale interior.
- Six pieces: lidded gaiwan with saucer, pouring bowl, and four cups
- Warm off-white glaze that lets the tea color read clearly
- Fine ridges ring every piece — you can feel them under your fingers
- Wide lipped bowl doubles as a fair cup for decanting
- Quiet, minimal set that fits any table setting

The Making
The forms are simple on purpose: a low gaiwan, a lipped bowl for decanting, and cups that sit naturally in the palm. Brewed tea shows amber and gold against the pale interior.
Care
Hand wash with mild detergent. The matte surface can pick up tea stain over time — a soft cloth with a little baking soda lifts it. Avoid dishwashers.
Run a finger up the side and you can feel the ridges ring the body — that texture is why we chose this set over a smoother version. The off-white glaze shows tea color clearly, which gongfu drinkers will appreciate. It arrives without a box worth gifting in, so tell us at checkout if it’s a present and we’ll wrap it properly.
