In the semi-final round of the TeaChat Gaiwan Contest, please cast your vote for your favorite gaiwan in each of the 4 semifinal polls. Photos for each semi-final poll are located in each appropriate poll topic for you to review and decide which gaiwan reigns supreme.
PLEASE pay close attention to the "number" in front of each entry since some participants entered multiple entries.
This round of voting will close on Sunday 2/08/09 at 11:59PM The 2 gaiwan with the most votes from each of the 4 polls will advance to the final round. In the event of a tie, all top voted gaiwan will advance, BUT only one gaiwan can advance per participant.
Good luck to all participants. There will also be at least one consolation category that wil be announced, so gaiwan that did NOT advance to the final can still win a prize.

This gaiwan is from Pure Puer Tea. According to their description, is entirely hand-crafted
and hand-painted by the An Da Studio of Taiwan. And each one is unique.
#2 Victoria
This is a hand painted peony design painted on very delicate porcelain along with Chinese writing.
I have a pure WHITE submission, but I thought this one was more appropriate to post on the
Chinese New Year due to the characters. They are written around the back side and appear
on the cups as well.
#3 Victoria
A nice white porcelain gaiwan with a lower profile and a contour that looks graceful and also
makes for a great cup.

It's very slightly green -- not quite white. A pretty large gaiwan brewing some young pu that I have.
#6 Cinnamon Kitty
This is my rice porcelain gaiwan.
