130ml Modern White Porcelain Gaiwan Tea Cup With Mountain Knob

About This Gaiwan Tea Cup

A classic Gaiwan (lidded bowl) is the heart of traditional Chinese gongfu tea preparation, and this modern iteration elevates the timeless tool with thoughtful, functional design. Handcrafted from premium white porcelain, this 130ml gaiwan fits perfectly for individual tasting or small group sharing, bringing both elegance and practicality to your daily tea ritual.

Unique Design Highlights of This Gaiwan

• Mountain-shaped lid knob: Ditch the ordinary round knob—this sculpted mountain-inspired knob adds a touch of natural art to your tea table, stays cool to touch for a comfortable, secure grip when pouring.
• Drainage hole saucer: Our irregular leaf-shaped saucer solves the common problem of standing water in traditional gaiwan saucers. The built-in drainage hole lets excess water drain away easily, keeping your tea setup dry and clean at all times.
• Pure white porcelain: The smooth, glossy translucent glaze lets you clearly see the color of your tea and the unfurling of tea leaves, making it easy to control steep time for a perfect cup every brew.

Cultural Meaning & Gifting

Gaiwan has been a core Chinese tea brewing tool for over 1,000 years, valued for its versatility and simplicity. This modern design carries the tradition of mindful tea drinking, with a minimalist aesthetic that fits any modern home. It is the perfect gift for tea lovers, housewarmings, birthdays, or anyone who appreciates timeless design and functional art for their daily routine.
