Gaiwan: Rim diameter 11 cm Base diameter 4.6 cm Height 9.8 cm

Saucer: Diameter 11 cm Base diameter 4.6 cm

Cups: Rim diameter 6 cm Base diameter 2.5 cm Height 4.5 cm The gaiwan is the most revered vessel in Chinese tea culture. Lid, bowl, and saucer represent heaven, the human world, and earth. To drink from a gaiwan is to hold cosmology in your hands.

This set carries the Wutong Qinghua pattern from Jingdezhen's factory era, overlaid with the Occupation mark. The ceremonial form is honoured. Its surface is not. Tian Wei treats heritage as something alive enough to argue with, producing a tea set that is simultaneously respectful and confrontational.

The accompanying tea cup completes the set for individual service.
