Because the gaiwan's rim is thick and rounded rather than thin, I find it a bit more difficult for me to get a clean pour. It's fine with some practice, but I have to be faster than I'm used to. The teacups have thin rims and feel very nice to drink from. The lacquer is thicker in some places, which provides a nice variation in color. I appreciate the calm blueish gray and sepia tones.

Even prettier in person. Distributes heat well and is comfortable to use. This has become my go-to gaiwan and cup set.

I really like the design, and it pours really well.

I bought 4 cups and they became my favorite ones instantly. The design looks beautiful and they feel super comfortable in my hands. The very thin rim is also very pleasant to drink from and lets you appreciate the tea mouthfeel. I use them with the Classic White Porcelain Small Gaiwan (60ml) that produces around 50ml of tea in each infusion, just enough to not having to use a gong dao bei, so I can pour directly into the cup with a strainer. I would buy the gaiwan too if it wasn't too big for what I usually brew.

I just love this set. Such beautiful colors. I bought the Gaiwan and 2x cups. The ceramic is very nice and thin, you can see a shadow through when facing the light. Very delicate and thin edges. It pours well. I'm super happy with the purchase. Also, the shipping time was very quick.
