Description

Introduction

A thin-walled white gaiwan that shows the colour of the tea clearly – a practical choice for comparing teas.

Specifications

Craftsmanship

Dehua white porcelain is made from a fine, low-iron clay that fires to a warm ivory white under a clear glaze. The material is well suited to thin walls and finely modelled details.

How to Use

Warm the gaiwan with hot water, add leaves, pour in water and cover. To pour, hold the saucer with your thumb and middle finger, keep the lid slightly open with your index finger and decant into a fair cup or tasting cups.

Care

Wash by hand with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scourers. Do not expose to sudden temperature changes. Hand-made and hand-painted pieces vary slightly in colour, pattern and size; photos are for reference.
