I am wondering if anyone has info on where I can get one of the larger gaiwans. I bought one from FunAlliance a few years ago but it's pretty small and I'd like to get one of the bigger ones, something that holds about or more than 200 ml.
As a side note, it's kind of frustrating when a tea site doesn't tell you how much a certain vessel holds...

Thank-you for the advice Karsten, but when I check the Jing tea shop site the only larger gaiwan was a 180 ml and it was sold out. I'm looking for something that's not stoneware that's over 200 ml. Still searching. Did anyone see that last movie with Jet Li in it? Towards the end when he is drinking tea before the big match with his opponent from Japan, the gaiwans were quite large, at least 200 ml. That's what I'm talking about. I also checked Kam's site, nothing that large there.Has anyone else seena gaiwan that large for sale? Thanks.

Did you try emailing Seb directly for a special order, or either Teaspring, or Stephane Erler of Teamasters? They will often find exactly what you are looking for and sell it to you.
By the way, I bought 2 200 ml gaiwans from Kam at Funalliance, the large chinese porcelain ones. That is about seven ounces. Imperial Tea Court has lovely yixing ones that are huge-about 8 oz. If you google "gaiwan buy" I'm sure you will be directed to more sites that can help you.
EnjoyingTea.com has several 6.8 oz. gaiwan -
I also saw a 7 oz. gaiwan in the Stash Tea catalogue, item #600170 ... probably available on their web site, too -
