This special bowl had to be large enough to accommodate the implements and actions of tea brewing, yet small enough to be held comfortably in the hands for drinking. The term for this versatile piece of equipment was simply chawan tea bowl.
Technically, because of its small size –usually no more than 4 inches across– the term should be gaibei (covered cup) but since he traditional vessel for tea drinking had always been some form of bowl, “gaiwan” was adopted.
Because of its elegance, functionality and ease of use (after a little practice, of course), the gaiwan has long been recognized in China as the universal tool of tea preparation… in the teahouse, at home or in the field. The gaiwan’s universal practicality, superior control and versatility through all families and styles of tea make it the perfect vessel in which to explore the widest range of the world’s teas.
The GaiWan is very useful.
1. The saucer can avoid people getting scald from the hot water.
2. You don't need to move the cover, just move a half. So you will not eat the leaf but drink the tea.
Now our workshop has made these Yixing Gaiwans with Perfect clay. See the pictures below.

Do the wider shaped gaiwans pour well, or are they meant for drinking?
Thanks!

(Old style or "grandpa" style drinking directly from the gaiwan instead of pouring into a cup). I would guess they are good for either.finddream2020 wrote:And i am sorry, what do you mean by this?
