Wonderful Gaiwan!!!

Brews well, I've had thicker and thinner gaiwans this one feels like it is in the middle. Pours beautifully without dripping. Love the hole in the bottom plate to keep tea spillage from puddling in the plate, I keep it on top of my drainage tray. Looks better in person.

I would recommend

A beautiful and well-made GAIWAN. The detail is crisp. The cup is translucent under light. The lid fit well and provides a good seal. I was very pleased with the cup. Shipping and response time was reasonable as promised, and the packing was very secure. I highly recommend this Gaiwan. The pour from the cup is excellent if you want to brew in it, or it works perfectly when using the lid to stir and move the leaves. Treat yourself.
