This travel tea set includes a lidded gaiwan, three cups, a tea caddy, and a fitted leather case. Its cushioned interior holds the pieces securely, offering a convenient way to prepare and share gongfu tea during journeys or outdoor stops.
The gaiwan, or covered tea bowl, became established as a tea vessel during the Ming period. Used to steep, strain, pour, or drink tea, it works naturally with small cups in a traditional gongfu arrangement.
Made in China, the cream ceramic carries blue landscape decoration and narrow red rims, while the dark blue leather case protects the set in transit. Empty and rinse the caddy after use, then dry the ceramic before storage.
