Longquan Celadon Ice Crack Gaiwan, 160ml Porcelain

Longquan Celadon Ice Crack Gaiwan — 160 ml Porcelain

Rooted in a tradition dating to 1350, the gaiwan — literally "covered cup" — is one of China's most versatile and enduring tea vessels. This Longquan celadon version elevates the classic form with a luminous ice crack glaze: fine crackle lines that emerge naturally from the kiln, giving each piece a quietly dramatic, one-of-a-kind character.

How to Brew with a Gaiwan

Place your tea leaves in the bowl. Pour boiling water just under halfway, then immediately drain through the lid as a strainer to rinse the leaves. Inhale the awakened aroma, then refill with fresh water — pouring down the inside wall to set the leaves swirling. Drink directly from the gaiwan, or decant into a fair cup or individual tasting cups. Works beautifully with any tea type; simply adjust water temperature and steeping time to suit.
