Tea Set: Three Friends of Winter Gaiwan & Three Cups

A muted ceramic finish and carved Three Friends of Winter decoration give this ovanyu set its quiet character. One gaiwan and three tasting cups are presented together in a fitted gift box, offering a compact arrangement for a small shared session. The traditional theme brings a botanical reference to the surface without introducing a bright palette. Set the pieces out with a simple mat or tray so that the carved detail and related forms can be appreciated.

• Three Friends of Winter theme: The traditional motif brings together pine, bamboo, and plum in Chinese decorative culture. Here, the theme is expressed through the set’s surface decoration, giving the pieces a shared reference beyond their matching color.
• Muted surface and carved detail: The decoration introduces texture while keeping the overall color quiet. This combination works well in a setting where the shapes and surfaces of the teaware are given space, rather than competing with a busy table covering.
• One gaiwan and three cups: The selection combines a brewing vessel with three drinking cups. Add a serving pitcher from your own collection if you prefer to collect the infusion before dividing it between cups during a shared session.
• Brewing and serving pieces together: A gaiwan and coordinated cups establish the main elements of a small tea session. Add a separate pitcher if you prefer to collect the infusion before dividing it, or pour carefully into the cups using your usual gaiwan method.
• A compact shared arrangement: Use the set for small servings with company, bringing out the cups you need. The related pieces provide a clear visual starting point while leaving you free to choose a tray, mat, and other accessories for your own table.

• Brand: ovanyu
• Material: Ceramic
• Included: One gaiwan and three cups; gift box
• Care: Hand wash each piece; dry fully before packing.

1. Set the table: Rinse the included pieces before use and arrange the gaiwan and cups on a stable surface. Add your own serving pitcher if preferred, leaving room for pouring and a separate place for discarded rinse water.
2. Brew in the gaiwan: Add loose leaves and water heated separately to suit the tea. Keep water below the rim. If the gaiwan grip is new to you, practice with cool water before a hot session.
3. Pour and serve: Create a narrow gap beneath the lid and pour carefully into a cup or a separate serving pitcher, retaining larger leaves. Divide the tea into small portions and repeat infusions as appropriate for your tea.
4. Wash and put away: Remove spent leaves and hand wash each piece gently. Rinse thoroughly and allow all parts to dry separately before returning them to the gift box or a closed storage space.

Q: What is the serving pitcher for?
A: The pitcher receives the finished infusion before it is divided among cups. This allows the tea to leave the leaves at one point in the brewing process, making shared servings easier to manage.

Q: Is a pitcher included?
A: The included pieces are listed in Product Details. This gaiwan-and-cup set does not specify a serving pitcher; add one from your own collection if you prefer to decant into a separate vessel before serving.

Q: Can I boil water in the gaiwan?
A: No. Heat water separately and use the gaiwan for steeping. The ceramic pieces can become hot during use, so practice the grip, leave room below the rim, and keep your fingers clear of steam.

Q: Are the tray, tea, and display props included?
A: The components listed in Product Details are included. Tea, table coverings, and other scene props are not included unless expressly listed. Add a stable tray or mat from your own collection if desired.
