This gaiwan is stunning and well crafted. It’s just the perfect size. Shipping was also lightning fast. My only wish was that it came with a saucer. Nonetheless, I loved it instantly. Sadly, tragedy struck, and the lid slid off the cup while moving it off the counter. My fault. Of the lid broke into several pieces on the floor.
I was on the phone with my mother when this happened and my sweet mom ordered me another on the spot. I will take especially good care of it because it the 2nd one is a gift. All in all, it’s a beautiful gaiwan and rather different than so many on the market.
