*SOLD* This large gaiwan teacup is made of ceramic with a shiny crackle glaze. It has a blue bamboo motif on both the cup and the matching lid. It also features metal (brass or copper?) bands around the foot, the knob, and both the edge of the lid and edge of the bowl. The cup measures 3 inches high (5 inches high with the lid on), and about 4 1/2 inches in diameter. It is in wonderful vintage/used condition, with no chips, cracks, color loss, or other damage. The metallic strips have a patina that I did not attempt to polish, but could probably be shined up if you preferred. Very little wear or scuffing. This is a beautifully heavy, high quality piece of tea service! You can purchase this bamboo motif gaiwan now at www.ecoquirky.com
