Tea Ceremony 10-Piece Set - Rabbit and Chrysanthemum # 96027

This ten-piece tea set brings a lidded gaiwan, matching cups, a fairness pitcher and serving pieces together in a fitted case. The broad, gently flared rims make pouring and sipping comfortable, while the lid helps control leaves during brewing.

The gaiwan, meaning covered bowl, became established in China during the Ming period and remains central to gongfu brewing. Its lid, bowl and saucer allow tea to be infused, strained and poured without a separate handle, at the table.

Made in China, this ceramic set uses a pale blue-green Ru-style glaze, a style associated with the Northern Song Ru kilns. Blue chrysanthemum and rabbit decoration enlivens the surface. Rinse each piece after tea and dry it before storing.
