Bring Balance and Artistry to Every Pour
Imagine hosting a tea session where uneven pours or messy transitions interrupt the calm ritual. This retro coarse pottery fair cup (Gong Dao Bei) ensures a smooth, steady, and elegant pour. It blends the tea from the pot to ensure every guest enjoys the same perfectly balanced brew strength.
Ergonomic Side Handle Design
Combining classic craftsmanship with functional beauty, this pitcher features a distinct side handle (yoko-de). This ergonomic design keeps your hand away from the rising steam and heat of the tea, providing precise control and comfort with every motion. It merges heritage style with practical usability.
Handcrafted Texture
Formed from durable coarse pottery fired for strength, each cup features a unique natural texture that feels grounded in tradition. The rustic, unrefined finish offers excellent grip and visual warmth. Its rounded spout ensures a clean stream without dripping, making it a reliable tool for your daily tea practice.
Rooted in Tea Culture
This piece represents the harmony found in Eastern tea practices. By decanting tea from the pot to this vessel before serving, you ensure the liquid is mixed ("fair") and free of sediment. Carefully shaped and finished, it complements both rustic and refined tea table setups.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a side handle?
A side handle offers better leverage for pouring and keeps your fingers away from the hot body of the cup, preventing burns.
Is this a teapot?
No, this is a "Fair Cup" or pitcher. It does not have a lid or a filter inside; it is used to receive tea from the teapot before serving it into cups.
Is the surface rough?
The "coarse pottery" style has a textured, tactile finish that provides a natural, non-slip grip, distinct from smooth porcelain.
How do I clean it?
Rinse with hot water. Since coarse pottery can be porous, avoid using soapy detergents to prevent the clay from absorbing soap flavors.
