Dai Wood-Fired Beaker Justice Cup

The Justice Cup, or Gong Dao Bei, is an open, spouted vessel used for decanting tea into from a gaiwan or teapot. Its purpose is to act as a reservoir to homogenize the tea before it is served and allow the server to halt the steeping process when the tea is properly steeped. This one-of-a-kind, handmade Justice Cup comes from Liang Tu Studio in Xishuangbanna, and is made of Dai clay in the Dai ethnic pottery tradition. It has a volume of 150-200ml. This wood-fired Justice Cup features a unique beaker shape.
