A gaiwan is a traditional Chinese tea drinking vessel. The gaiwan is made of porcelain and has a blue and white color scheme featuring fish and lotus flowers. The gaiwan is accompanied by a saucer, which is used to catch any spills or drips while pouring the tea. The saucer, lid and cup create a harmonious and elegant tea setting. The overall design and arrangement of the gaiwan and saucer showcase the cultural significance and aesthetic appeal of tea in Chinese tradition.
