The "Lao Tao Ni" ceramic gaiwan, 160 ml, is classic ware for gongfu brewing. It suits pu-erh, oolong, white, green and other types of loose-leaf tea, and is especially convenient for a gongfu tea session.
As shown in the photo, the gaiwan is decorated with a blue floral pattern on a muted grayish background. The design covers the walls and the lid, while the rim of the bowl and saucer is highlighted with a thin light edging. The lid has a small knob handle, and a saucer comes with the gaiwan.
