OVP white porcelain gai-wan

A Gai-wan is a traditional Chinese lidded bowl for brewing and drinking tea. Originating during the Ming Dynasty, it is prized for its versatility, elegance, and its ability to help tea enthusiasts fully appreciate the aroma and flavour of their tea.

This White Porcelain Gaiwan, representing the heritage and craftsmanship of the Teo-Chew region in southern China, is an essential tool for Gongfu tea ceremonies.

Designed with both aesthetics and functionality in mind, the Gaiwan features a wider edge on the body to make it easy to hold, keeping heat away from your fingers. The lid has a slightly deeper centre, providing a comfortable grip for lifting or tilting while pouring tea.

Available in both 120ml and 160ml capacities, this Gai-wan is ideal for personal use, allowing for multiple steepings without diluting the tea. Its simple design emphasizes the tea itself, aligning with the core principles of Chinese tea culture.
