They traditionally consist of three pieces: the bowl, the lid, and the saucer (though this is often omitted). By creating a narrow opening between the lid and the body, the leaves can be filtered from the tea when pouring or sipping. Though originally gaiwan were used as cups to drink from directly, today it is most common to use them as a teapot, and pour the tea into a pitcher or smaller cups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs these are handmade pieces, there may be slight variations in the shape and colouration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe gaiwan comes in its original kiribako (桐箱 - paulownia wood box) signed and sealed by the artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maekawa Junzō","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548323668012,"sku":"US-D9","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/1NCj8i4t6rlKVb5LKEJJ-P4IZiJv-miPt.jpg?v=1779029590","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/white-tokoname-gaiwan-150ml","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
