On this set the colored pattern is fired onto the porcelain surface, giving bright, raised-looking motifs on a white body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gaiwan brews for two to three people per infusion.

Fill it about three-quarters full, hold the rim with your thumb and middle finger, keep the lid slightly open with your index finger and pour in one smooth motion. The flared rim stays cooler than the bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with cups?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This listing is the gaiwan only (see the photos and option for whether a saucer is included).
