Three Fish tasting cup [TS20]

This Three Fish series uses high-white porcelain clay from Dehua, Fujian. Against the white porcelain, the colour of the tea is easy to see. Fish on the gaiwan and lid are finished by hand in underglaze colour, leaving a smooth glazed surface.

The tasting cups show six variations on fish swimming in shallow water. The thin-walled serving pitcher has a V-shaped spout for a clean pour. The tea strainer catches leaf particles with a replaceable nonwoven filter.

Gaiwan: 180 ml, 9.2 × 8 cm, base 11.7 cm across. Serving pitcher: 205 ml, 8 × 7 cm. Strainer: 8.5 × 6.5 cm. Tasting cup: 70 ml, 8.5 × 3.5 cm.
