Bird Gaiwan and Cup Gong Fu Tea Set

This cheerful porcelain gong fu tea set features birds in flight among plum blossoms, painted in cobalt blue over a soft celadon-toned glaze. The traditional Chinese design wraps around each piece, giving you something lovely to look at from every angle.

The set includes one lidded gaiwan with saucer, plus two matching teacups. The porcelain gaiwan holds approximately 110 ml and measures 10.4 cm in diameter and 5.5 cm tall (without the lid). Each tea cup holds about 75 ml.

Because the porcelain is fully glazed inside and out, this gaiwan won't absorb flavors or aromas from your tea. This makes it a versatile choice for brewing any type of loose leaf tea, from delicate green teas to rich puerhs and oolongs.

If you're new to gongfu style brewing, this beginner gaiwan set is a great place to start. The size is manageable for learning proper gaiwan technique, the glazed surface is forgiving, and frankly, it's just nice to use something this pretty while you're exploring Chinese tea culture.

Each piece may vary slightly in appearance from the photo. Product color may also vary slightly due to photographic lighting or monitor settings.
