From Liuzhou’s glassblowing quarter to your tea table
The usual fairness pitcher from this bench tops out around 180ml, sized for the gaiwans the Liuzhou line is known for — but tea event organisers kept asking for one pitcher to serve six or eight guests without constant refilling. This 400ml size is the answer: still hand-blown at the Liuzhou shophouse, but with a proper handle this time, since a pitcher this heavy when full is no longer comfortable held by the rim alone.
Several sessions went into the spout alone, refining the angle until the pour cut off without a drip regardless of how quickly it was tilted back. The handle is drawn from the same gather as the body rather than fused on afterward, which keeps the whole piece one uninterrupted material. Each piece is examined individually for optical clarity and lip finish before it ships, the same check the smaller pitcher gets.
Because it competes for bench time with the main gaiwan work, this event size is the least frequently restocked piece in the Liuzhou line — worth planning ahead for if you know a large session is coming.
