Handmade Wood Fired Gaiwan Tea Brewer 130ml

This 130ml gaiwan is perfect for solo gongfu brewing sessions or for sharing tea with a few others.

With a glazed interior and unglazed exterior, this gaiwan can be paired with different tea types while retaining the rustic look and feel of the iron-rich local clay it is made from.

Czech ceramicist Václav Dušek creates soulful, rustic, one-of-a-kind wood-fired teaware. With a deep appreciation for tea and wabi sabi aesthetics, he focuses on using natural materials and methods to highlight form, function, and texture in his creations. His pieces feature simple, natural glazes of materials such as feldspar, silica, and ash, which create singular results in each firing.

With their focus on simplicity and impermanence, Václav’s pieces are an invitation to slow down, to appreciate the time, craft, and materials of handmade creations, and to experience joy and wonder at the everyday beauty of the world.

A gaiwan is a traditional Chinese lidded bowl used for brewing and drinking tea. Its simple design allows for precise control over the brewing process, making it ideal for savouring multiple infusions and appreciating the tea's aroma, flavour, and appearance.
