Teaware - Mini Gaiwan set (Blue and White, fish & seaweed, 50cc)

Mini Gaiwan set: one Gaiwan and one Cup (50cc)

This is a Qinghua (Blue-and-White) Gaiwan set, purely hand-made by Jingdezhen masters, who meticulously painted each and every stroke on the set by hand. This has a Fish and seaweed patten, and was burned in kilns with temperatures as high as 1300 degrees Celsius.

Normally, for cliff tea, the recommended tea to water ratio is around 8g to 100-120ml. This set can hold around 50ml of water, allowing you to split each 8g packet into 2 sets of 4g while brewing, hence being more efficient with the usage of this extravagant tea.

Note: The Gaiwan and the cup look very similar, with the former being taller and thicker. Also, when travelling, do remember to put a layer of cusioning, like bubble wrap, between the porcelain to prevent breakage.
