As the main infuser on the tea table, in addition to its basic practical functions, Gaiwan must also have its own temperament and aesthetics, so that it can become a bright color on the table and support the style of the entire tea table.
Today I would like to recommend a "Lulu Gai Wan Tea Cup" from Jingdezhen. It has a simple and dignified shape, a calm and gentle color, and is decorated with hand-painted deer in "pastel" and "alum red", which is very lively.

The warmth of the utensils is often reflected in the investment and expression of the craftsmen. Every texture and every glaze color creates just the right beauty. It is rare to see deer on Gaiwan and teacups.
Deer is a mysterious and sacred animal in Chinese traditional culture, and it has special significance in Chinese traditional culture. The ancients loved and worshiped the deer very much. In the hearts of the ancients, the deer is an auspicious animal and a symbol of prosperity. The hand-painted lines of this Gaiwan and teacup are neat and stretched, and the colors are delicate and vivid, making the overall elegant and unique.
This Gaiwan and teacup are all handmade. The off-white glaze is warm and bright in color, and it is hand-painted with pastel alum red to complement each other. This gaiwan carcass is relatively light and thin, with exquisite workmanship and a good hand feeling. The elegance and clumsiness are shared by hand-made textures. The thin glaze is applied to highlight the charm. The exposed rim allows the fingertips to relax naturally, preventing the fingers from sliding down to hold the water-heat-retaining bowl body, and also avoiding mistakes. In terms of usage, the bowl body is sized to fit your hand. Compared with the bulky Gaiwan, it is particularly easy to use. For beginners and girls with small hands, it gives a full sense of control.
