Choose from Sage Green, Apricot Pink, Moon Yellow, Vermilion, Deep Blue, or Turquoise Green, each applied to the same rounded ceramic form with a flared rim and matching lid. The plain color surfaces keep the outline prominent, allowing a single gaiwan to work with both patterned and undecorated cups. Select a quiet pastel or a stronger color according to the rest of your tea setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix glaze choices:\u003c\/strong\u003e The collection ranges from pale greens, pink, and yellow to deeper blue and red tones. Each color is a separate option, so you can choose the one that best relates to the teaware you already own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThin-walled ceramic form:\u003c\/strong\u003e The thin-walled construction is a defining feature of the design. It gives the rim a visually delicate profile. As with any gaiwan, the bowl can become hot during steeping; the description is not a claim of insulation or a cool-touch surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRounded bowl and flared rim:\u003c\/strong\u003e The body curves outward before opening at the rim. The lid rests within that outline and is used to control the pouring gap.

You decide when to pour and how far to open the gap, making it a hands-on choice for short infusions and repeated steeping as your tea allows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA flexible center for your tea service:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the gaiwan with your own tasting cups and, if preferred, a serving pitcher.

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":"Sage Green","offer_id":44051212501055,"sku":"OV-799367812951-5614593630977","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Apricot Pink","offer_id":44051212533823,"sku":"OV-799367812951-5614593630978","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Moon Yellow","offer_id":44051212566591,"sku":"OV-799367812951-5614593630979","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vermilion","offer_id":44051212599359,"sku":"OV-799367812951-5614593630980","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Deep Blue","offer_id":44051212632127,"sku":"OV-799367812951-5614593630981","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Turquoise Green","offer_id":44051212664895,"sku":"OV-799367812951-5614593630982","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/ovanyu-20261003-131.jpg?v=1791039388","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/gaiwan-thin-walled-ceramic-in-six-color-glazes","provider":"榮國輝國際貿易 (香港) 有限公司","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
