Dragon Phoenix Chinese Teacup Set 5.5oz Porcelain Cup

Gaiwan, a traditional Chinese Han tea set, consists of a bowl in the middle, a cover on top, and a holder on the bottom. The cover represents the sky, the saucer symbolizes the earth, and the tea bowl represents human beings, illustrating the harmony between heaven, earth, and humanity.

Featuring a simple yet elegant design, the Gaiwan is easy to use and does not absorb flavors. It conducts heat quickly, making it practical for brewing tea. The Dragon and Phoenix motif on the Gaiwan is a nod to ancient Chinese culture, where the dragon and the phoenix were revered symbols. The dragon represents good fortune and power, while the phoenix symbolizes rebirth and prosperity. When combined, they create a harmonious and auspicious symbol, often seen in wedding decorations and New Year festivities.

Legend has it that Nongyu, the daughter of Duke Mu of Qin, played the sheng under the moonlight and met Xiao Shi, a flute player. The two decided to elope, playing music that summoned dragons and phoenixes to dance. This story has since been used to symbolize love and unity between partners.

The Gaiwan's lid and bowl are designed to have a slight gap for smooth pouring of tea. If too tight, the cover can become stuck, leading to spills or burns. Care should be taken to avoid this issue. Various Gaiwan sets are available, each with unique designs and capacities, suitable for different types of tea.

These tea sets are dishwasher-safe and can be used for various occasions such as gifts, gatherings, or office use. The Gaiwan is versatile and can be used for brewing a variety of teas, from green tea to pu-er tea. Its traditional Chinese design and dragon and phoenix motif make it a symbol of auspiciousness and blessings.

Made of high-quality porcelain, the Gaiwan undergoes traditional crafting techniques to enhance its appearance and functionality. It is not only a tool for making tea but also a symbol of Chinese culture and tradition. Handmade with slight imperfections, each Gaiwan is unique and offers a special touch to tea rituals.
