One-Handed Gaiwan

My next ceramic piece was inspired while having some tea and reading a book.  I chose a porcelain gaiwan for my drinking vessel, however gaiwans are meant to be used with two hands and I wanted one free hand for reading.  I tried to use the gaiwan with just one hand, but it was less than ideal as it wasn't really made to be used that way.  So I decided to go to the studio and make one that was.
