This gaiwan is made of porcelain and is decorated with a traditional dragon & phoenix design. It has a 150ml cap. This is a very classic gaiwan with a unique Chinese cultural aspect: in ancient China, the five-toed dragon meant the emperor, whereas the phoenix (when paired with the dragon) meant the empress. The set consists of a bowl, lid, and saucer.
