My version of “builders tea”, they are perfect for keeping the dust out!
For me, Gaiwans are the in-betweens of tea. They are not bowls and not teapots. You can use them to drink from. I have lovely memories of doing so in a tea garden in China, but you can also use them as a teapot to explore more of the complexity in the leaves… they don’t excel at either of these tasks but sometimes you just want to use one
These have a simple ash glaze and have been fired to cone 10 in oxidation
