Subtle cascading ripples of texture in the glass gaiwan accentuate the “misty” quality of the unique finish. This gaiwan features delicately frosted tempered glass adorned with an evocative splash of gold. The lovely brewer allows you to see the color of your tea as it infuses, as well as the leaves as they expand. The light shines through and illuminates your tea, playing off the luster of the foil accents for a beautiful effect.
