This handmade ceramic gaiwan tea set for two features a hand-painted kitten in an orange bow tie. Tiny flowers and stars frame the kitten against a soft blue-grey backdrop, and the scene repeats on both matching teacups. A glossy cream glaze ties the set together.

Brew loose leaf tea in the gaiwan and tilt the lid slightly to hold back the leaves as you pour. The two cups are ideal for sharing short gongfu tea infusions of oolong, white tea or pu-erh. A thoughtful gift for someone who loves cats and a good cup of tea.

The set includes one gaiwan with lid and saucer and two matching teacups.
