Welcome to a moment of pure tea elegance with our Plum Blossom Blue & White Porcelain Ceramic Gaiwan. This exquisite piece of tableware represents centuries of tea culture tradition, reimagined for the modern connoisseur seeking both beauty and functionality in their tea ritual.

Crafted from fine porcelain and adorned with delicate plum blossom motifs against a classic blue and white backdrop, this traditional Chinese Gaiwan (lid, cup, and saucer set) elevates every sip into a mindful experience. With a generous 185ml capacity, it's perfectly sized for personal enjoyment or intimate sharing.

The Art of Gaiwan in Modern Tableware

The Gaiwan (meaning "lidded bowl") represents one of the most elegant forms of ceramic dishes in Chinese tea culture. This three-piece design combines functionality with symbolic meaning - the lid represents heaven, the saucer earth, and the cup humanity, creating harmony in your table setting.

Unlike ordinary teacups, the Gaiwan allows you to appreciate the full sensory experience of fine teas. The lid retains heat and aroma while allowing you to control steeping time with precision, making it especially suited for oolong and delicate green teas.

Symbolic Plum Blossom Porcelain Design

The plum blossom pattern adorning this Gaiwan holds deep significance in Eastern philosophy. Blooming in winter's harshness before other flowers dare, it symbolizes resilience, renewal, and hope - qualities to contemplate during your tea ritual. The classic blue and white porcelain technique showcases these delicate blooms with remarkable clarity and depth.

Beyond its practical use, this piece stands as a beautiful example of decorative tableware that brings artistic refinement to any dining accessories collection. Display it proudly even when not in use.

Complete Tea Ceremony Experience

This complete set includes all three essential components: a precisely formed cup, matching saucer, and perfectly fitted lid. The thoughtful proportions and balance allow for the proper dinnerware etiquette of traditional Kung Fu tea service while remaining accessible to beginners.

The 185ml capacity strikes the ideal balance - generous enough for satisfying enjoyment yet small enough to prevent tea from cooling too quickly. The well-designed pour spout allows for precise serving without dripping.
