Handmade Mini Zisha Gaiwan – Peanut Design, 90ml Retro Sand-Finish Teacup

A charming tribute to nature’s simplicity, this 90ml Zisha Gaiwan is hand-sculpted into a whimsical peanut shape, blending rustic nostalgia with functional elegance. Crafted from Yixing-style purple clay and finished with a (sand-textured) surface, the Gaiwan’s compact size (6cm height) and 8.4cm wide mouth make it perfect for solo tea sessions or Gongfu-style brewing of pu-erh or oolong.

Each piece is shaped entirely by hand, preserving the artisan’s fingerprints in the clay—a hallmark of authenticity. The unglazed Zisha clay naturally seasons over time, subtly enhancing tea flavors, while the peanut motif symbolizes fertility and longevity in Chinese folklore. The matte finish provides a non-slip grip, ideal for precise pouring.
