Description

These gaiwans feature the mythical Qilin gracefully flying among the clouds, and are the newest addition from a Jingdezhen studio we have been working with for 8 years now.

Each gaiwan is hand-painted and holds approximately 120ml of liquid, making it flexible for solo-drinking and sharing between 2-3 people.

These are produced by a studio in Jingdezhen that specializes in only making handmade, hand-painted Qinghua (blue painted) teaware.

Please note that these gaiwans employ a vintage style “fanggu” glaze and therefore are not white, but predominantly grey with blue painting. This slightly rougher looking vintage look is intentional and there may be minor differences from one piece to another.

These gaiwans may or may not also have surface crackles, which could develop over time. Although recent batches don’t appear to crackle, previous batches have had this as an intended feature, which does not indicate any type of defect. We just don’t want you to be surprised.
