I'd recommend getting a porcelain gaiwan and a cup. Like the other anon said, clay can hold flavors from the tea you brew in it. That's fine if you only want to use it for one kind of tea, but it add some off-flavors if you use it for a different kind. Cheap clay can also be sketchy health-wise. Porcelain is cheaper, flavor agnostic, and less likely to kill you.

If you're in the US and don't mind a mismatched set, take a look at Purple Cloud's sale section. Try something like these:

https://purplecloudteahouse.com/collections/clearance-1/products/80ml-beauty-teacup

It's basically the same price as you'd be paying on AliExpress, but shipping will be way faster than having to wait a month for it to ship from China and clear customs.
