The soft pink body, broad lid, and matching saucer bring the decoration into a complete brewing form. The listed 130 ml capacity suits compact infusions, with room reserved for leaves rather than filling to the very edge.

When the bowl is tilted, tea passes through that gap while larger leaves remain inside. Very fine particles may still pass into the cup or pitcher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I heat water directly in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No. This is a steeping vessel for water heated separately, not a stovetop kettle. Keep it away from burners and open flames, and take care when handling the bowl and lid after adding hot water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do I need a serving pitcher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A pitcher is optional for a single serving but useful when sharing. Pouring the infusion into it first lets you divide the tea among cups without leaving the remaining portion steeping in the gaiwan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is a gaiwan suitable for someone learning gongfu tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It can be, provided you are comfortable learning the grip and pouring method. Start with cool-water practice, use a stable work surface, and leave room below the rim. Ceramic surfaces can become hot during use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Standard Packaging","offer_id":44051214368831,"sku":"OV-910337276951-5939249287036","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gift Box","offer_id":44051214401599,"sku":"OV-910337276951-5939249287037","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/ovanyu-20261003-148.jpg?v=1791039378","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/gaiwan-pink-clay-ceramic-with-hand-formed-flower-130ml","provider":"榮國輝國際貿易 (香港) 有限公司","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
