Does it count if the 3 pieces didn't come to me together :P

This is the only gaiwan I currently use. But I have multiple copies of it in case accident happens :D

Gaiwan in use, with the other side of the cup facing us. It's winter tea si ji chun from zen8tea, very nice tea, especially for a si ji chun.

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.

***This organic blend is earthy & spicy, with a fragrant aroma & smooth flavor to captivate the senses. Naturally sweetened in the Kentucky sunshine & infused with natural energy. Equally delicious when served piping hot or crisply chilled.***

You can redeem yourself and post one at a time, and only per day. We would love to have you post accordingly. Looks like you have some "lovelies." :wink:
I will enter my monster truck of a gaiwan.

The little one behind it is 100ml.

Some more lovelies, Victoria, Cinnamon Kitty, and RemedialLogic! Thanks for sharing them with us.

CK, they had a lot of this exact rice pattern in Philly Chinatown right after you showed us this originally a few months ago. I looked for the gaiwan, but no luck. :(

Haha, we should have done rock, paper, scissors to see who would get to post it. I have three gaiwans, one is a glass one without a saucer and the other two are a matching set of rice porcelain. I don't have a dragonfly one so you are safe with that at least. :lol:

Wasn't there a TeaChat poll a few days ago about buying new teaware in 2009? I was thinking I didn't need any more stuff ... but after seeing all of these lovely gaiwan(s?), I think I do! :shock:

Great pics everyone!
