Maximum capacity in use: 100ml
Maximum capacity at Rim: 120ml
The volume measures 120ml to the top of the rim of the bowl. However, when in use its maximum capacity is around 100ml, perfect for 1-2 people.
This gaiwan features a ring saucer, a very old design. The hole in the centre of the saucer prevents the gaiwan from sticking to the saucer as easily as other gaiwans.
Tianbai 甜白 translated as Sweet White, is a rich white porcelain glaze created during the Ming Dynasty YongLe Period (AD1403 – 1424). This gaiwan is all white, without a brown rim.
This gaiwan is handmade of fine white porcelain with tianbai glaze by our studio partner QingKe Xuan 清可轩 in Jingdezhen China. The porcelain is fine with good translucence and the jade-like quality that is typical of Tianbai Jingdezhen Porcelain.

Beautifully made, feels good in the hand - a fine brewing vessel
I'm glad I bought a pair of these gaiwans - my first hand made. Besides being delicate and beautiful, they have quickly become my preferred gaiwans for drinking, as they are only slightly larger than the average tasting cup, but a far greater pleasure to hold and drink from. I'm surprised they're not sold out at time of writing.
Love it
Always quite hard to get hold of high end gaiwans in small sizes. This size is very versatile and great for 1-2 people. Around 80ml useable capacity
Fit and finish is near perfect. Zero blemishes, glazing applied very carefully. Nice thin and light with a high pitched ping, everything you'd hope for in a decent jingdezhen gaiwan
Love the hole in the saucer, had a gaiwan like this years ago - elevates the gaiwan and makes it even more special. It's great if you use three finger technique or just grab the whole thing in three pieces. Very well balanced in the hand.
Service from M&L superb! Many thanks for such a lovely gaiwan!
