Vintage Coarse Pottery 6oz Fairness Cup Gong Dao Bei Tea Pitcher

Handcrafted in wabi-sabi Japanese tradition, this one-of-a-kind kōdōhai (公道杯) – also known as a fairness cup or tea pitcher – elevates your daily tea ritual with rustic, natural charm.

Unique Natural-Inspired Design

Standing out from standard fairness cups, this pitcher features an organic branch-shaped handle that mimics the texture of weathered wild wood. Ergonomically shaped for comfortable, steady gripping, it brings the quiet beauty of nature right to your tea table. The deep dark brown finish is accented with one-of-a-kind mottled iron-like texture, creating a vintage, aged look that perfectly complements the calm, meditative spirit of traditional tea practice.
