This exquisite Gongfu Gaiwan tea set is meticulously handcrafted in Jingdezhen, the renowned porcelain county. The standout feature of this Gaiwan tea set is the stunning cracked blue glaze, created using the transmutation glaze technique known as "Yao Bian." This technique involves manipulating the kiln temperature during the firing process to achieve a gradient effect, showcasing the mastery of ceramic craftsmanship. Various factors such as the texture, shape of the wares, and glaze thickness can influence the color change in the firing process, making each piece of Yaobian tea ware unique.
After undergoing a high firing process at 1310 degrees Celsius, this tea set is not only visually appealing but also safe for food use, as it is free of lead and cadmium.
The beautiful Gaiwan tea set includes one Gaiwan and four Kungfu tea cups, elegantly presented in a gift box. It is an excellent choice for Kungfu tea enthusiasts or as a thoughtful gift for your loved ones. The Gaiwan is perfect for brewing Pu-erh tea, showcasing the beauty of the tea leaves during the infusion process. When not in use, the set can also serve as a decorative piece in your home.
There are two styles available for the cups in the tea set. Set A features gourd-shaped cups, with one larger cup and three smaller cups. Set B offers a more simple style with cups of the same size.
The dimensions of the Gaiwan tea set are as follows:
1 Gaiwan: 160ml/5.4oz
4 matching tea cups:
Set A (gourd shape cups): 60-80ml/2-2.7oz
