Glazed Terracotta Yixing Gaiwan with lid and saucer with a capacity of 120 ml.
This is a unique gaiwan made from Yixing terracotta, glazed on the inside. It is used for preparing “light” teas—those with low oxidation levels—such as green, white, or otherwise delicate teas. If you are looking for accessories for more “robust” teas such as oolong and pu erh, fully unglazed Yixing teapots are preferable.
Gaiwans are one of the great expressions of Chinese craftsmanship. Besides this glazed terracotta variant, classic porcelain gaiwans are also common. This Yixing gaiwan offers excellent value for money. The gaiwan has long been the most popular tea-making tool in China. Simple, elegant, and highly effective.
