Green Huaning Gaiwan (~150 ml)

These Green Huaning Gaiwans are mesmerizing with their gorgeous green glaze. They're sturdy and well made, each coming in its own box to help keep it safe when not in use.  The gaiwans hold approximately 150ml of liquid and measure about 10cm wide, 6cm tall without the lid, and 8cm tall with the lid on.

Huaning pottery comes from Yunnan province and has over 600 years of history. Local potters still harvest clay from nearby hills and hand-blend their glazes from natural minerals. The tradition dates back to the Ming Dynasty, and Huaning pottery was once considered the finest in the ancient Dian kingdom.

A gaiwan gives you excellent control over your brewing. The glazed surface won't absorb flavors, so you can use it for any type of tea. This makes a great investment in your gongfu tea ware collection.

We have 10 gaiwans total in this family - the photos show several of them, but since each is handmade, the one you receive will be beautifully unique and won't look exactly like what's photographed. They're all closely related and simply gorgeous in their own way.
