Here are a few pictures of my little gaiwan... about 5 oz. size, nice thin porcelain.

My camera is dying... the macro setting refuses to work :( So apologies in advance for the low resolution of this pic.

Gaiwan: Crystalline emerald gaiwan by Eilong of Taiwan. (Also called "blue pearl" by other sellers. The colour is really midway between blue and green - more of an aqua.)
Tea: Cha Wang Tai Ping Hou Kui from TeaSpring.

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.


#6 Gingko

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.
