And the lid itself fits perfectly onto the mouth of your wide-bodied pot. Because the lid sits flush on top, all the steam, aroma, and flavor of your tea is trapped inside for a perfect brew.

Also notice the large handle. It feels soft in your hand, and the broad curve makes a perfect ring, so it is very easy to grip.

From the handle, run your fingers across the top of the pot and down to the spout. See how the spout, duck’s head and handle are perfectly aligned with one another? This guarantees a straight, smooth pour every time.

Cultural note: Once two mandarin ducks fall in love, they will stay together for life. The Chinese see them as a symbol of devoted love. Some say Yixing clay is also a symbol of true love. Laymen and emperors alike have cherished teapots made of Yixing purple clay for centuries. Emperor Qianlong had quite the collection, and carved his calligraphy on them to express his admiration.

You must have noticed the appealing luster of this pot. This shows it is made of pure Yixing purple clay, which has been celebrated as one of the best materials for making teapots.

This clay is porous, so your tea gets absorbed and nourishes your teapot every time. The wonderful clay can even take in oils from your hands as you touch it, so the outer surface becomes even more beautiful and lustrous.

But this precious clay is in danger of running out nowadays, so much so that the Chinese government has taken steps to protect it.

Get the most out of your tea, and share your knowledge of an ancient Chinese tradition with friends!

Guarantee: All of our tea sets are the works of master potters who perfected their techniques through years of tradition and training. We are proud to guarantee the quality of your tea set.

Antique-Looked Chinese Tea Set: Dragon Totem

[gallery179]

 

A unique purple clay teapot is from Yixing, China and now it is only 193 US Dollars.

 

The very first tea set produced in the world originated from the very place where tea infusion was born. In the Yixing region of China (the only source of this unique material), purple clay, red clay or “zisha” was the main component in the aptly called Yixing tea sets.  Pot making began to rise during the Sung Dynasty (960-1279) but it flourished even further during the reign of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

 

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="250" caption="Dragon Totem Chinese Tea Set"][/caption]

However, before purple clay became a staple in tea pottery, tea was used to drink directly from drinking bowls after being brewed. The said clay was used in making jars, bowls and the like until it was later discovered as an ideal element in tea set making.

 

The Chinese tea set contains one tea pot and two teacups. The teapot can hold water up to 200 millimeters, equivalent to one drinking cup. On the other hand, the tea cups can accommodate 70 millimeters of water. The reason for the cups’ low water-holding capacity is to allow the drinkers to savor the hot brewed tea used in ceremonies and social gathering in ancient Chinese tradition.

The tea’s design is inspired by the ancient Chinese dragon cane. On the wares, the relief map of this antique cane was intricately pictured. The dragon symbolizes the masculine energy and fertility of an emperor and the emperor himself. In line with the tea session’s reputation as a form of a royalty event; the legendary creature encrypted in a king’s cane is the perfect design.

 

What are the distinct properties of this purple clay that it has captured the hearts of almost all tea potters in China and even influenced the porcelain-dominated tea ware in the West?

 

Apparently, the color of the clay commands immediate attraction and beauty. The double layering of the ware is designed effectively to not burn the delicate hand handling the set.The glazed outside part of the set enhances more the ware’s color. However, the inside is left uncoated so that the natural pores of the clay are not blocked and the flavor, aroma, smell and warmth of the tea being brewed remains.

 

[caption id="2" align="aligncenter" width="160" caption="Your tea set becomes seasoned as you use"][/caption]

Gradually, the teapots and cups become seasoned and the distinct flavor of the tea is absorbed for a long time. This unique property suggests that a set should be used for a certain type of tea so that there will be no mixing of the blends. Some of the teas that are best used with this set are black tea, flower tea, pu er tea, fruit tea, and so on.

 

The ingenuity of Chinese people and the help of Taiwanese technicians, the product is made to meet the above standards required by the European Union, American Food and drug Administration and the Switzerland SGS (Société Générale de Surveillance) which are three of the world’s most organized teams in product inspection.

 

Literally, the set means “to go as you wish” or “all wishes come true”. There is some truth behind it. From just being a local product, it has spread now to the rest of the world not in its primitive form but in a 280-by-180-by-120 box with a design that tells a story of culture, history and quality. The manufacturers get more than what they wished for.

Peking Opera Chinese Tea Set: Blast from the Past

[gallery178]

 

This special tea set is from Dehua, China, and it is only 73 US Dollars.

 

The Dehua region in the Fujian province of China was one of the main ceramic producers and distributors in the ancient times. Going back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), over a hundred furnaces have been discovered. This is where porcelain objects and other materials were processed to achieve their most luminous form translated only as ivory white or milk white. When it has reached new destinations, this famous Chinese porcelain was coined with a new term by the West as Blanc de Chine or Chinese White. Giving justice to its chic nickname, the place still prides itself with its old reputation by producing almost the same type of tea wares now more aptly called antique tea sets.

[caption id="2" align="aligncenter" width="280" caption="The famous Dehua Peking Opera Masks Chinese tea set"][/caption]

Limited Quantity in Stock

What is it in the Dehuan porcelain that when refined turns into a classical example of beauty? The low level of iron oxide (red-orange pigment that turns white when burned) found in it needs it to be fired in a temperature that transforms it into a pale form of white. This is a characteristic which makes it different from the equally famous Jingdezhen porcelain.

 

It has found its way to become a trademark of Dehuan tea ware industry. The typical antique tea set contains one pot, six cups and a gaiwan.

 

The teapot and tea cups’ size are somewhat similar with other tea sets on Chinese cultures. The teapot’s height of 8 centimeters and a lip diameter of 13 centimeters can hold enough water (30-400 millimeters) for pouring and refilling. The cup’s lip has a wider diameter of 8.6 centimeters than its base and standing at a height of 4.2 centimeters. The mathematical disproportion is a scientific marvel to tea industry since the design commands function and comfort all in one.

[caption id="2" align="aligncenter" width="230" caption="Dehua Peking Opera Masks Chinese tea set: a promised eye-catcher"][/caption]

Limited Quantity in Stock

The gaiwan’s addition to the classical tea set is a historical mark. Prior to its discovery, tea was normally sipped from the container from which it was brewed from. Since its introduction, the gaiwan became a staple in tea sets. A gaiwan is made up of a saucer, a bowl and a lid. For the tea to be brewed in the bowl and be able to witness it, the function of the lid comes in place. This piece, as well the other pieces in the set are the preferred materials when infusing green tea and white tea, known to have delicate aromas and flavors. The article’s properties make it ideal for preserving the distinctness of those two teas.

 

Over the glossy surfaces of the tea sets sprawls a design of a Peking

(Beijing) Opera Mask. This is the biggest highlight of the set. The significance of the design lies on the three colors of red, black and white used in forming the mask. Red signifies courage, loyalty and devotion. The black color indicates boldness and selflessness. The white one suggests cleverness and wickedness. These three colors all represent famous Chinese personalities portrayed in plays in the course of history.

 

The vintage design and the architecture of the package are two signs of the Chinese’s rich cultural tradition and history and their ingenuity and skills. Specifically, the antique tea sets made of Dehuan porcelain are a constant reminder of the nation’s glorious past, now shared with the rest of the world.

 

 

See what one of our clients say about this beautiful Dehua Peking Opera Mask Tea Set

 

“I am very impressed with this product, the Peking Opera Mask tea set from Think Beijing. It is made of Blanc de Chine porcelain (Dehua) and is from Fujian province in mainland China. This is from an area where the Peking Opera is well known.

“I have not stopped using this set since I received it five days ago.  It is very well crafted and looks every bit as good as the product photos imply. It is an absolute bargain and has proven itself to be ideal for brewing a wide variety of Chinese green tea, as stated in the product description. This set has already replaced all of my  gaiwans that were being used to brew green tea.

“The lid fit and pour of this gaiwan is much better than average, based on my experience with several others from both Taiwan and China. I always had a strong dislike of gaiwans due to the mess they (or I) make, but the functionality of this set is superb.

“With the Peking Opera mask theme, this set is also very entertaining to use.

“This is one of the best tea ware purchases I have ever made. As an added bonus, I was not aware that this set included a very sturdy, high-quality gift box. I rate this set 5 stars for functionality and 5 stars for value.

(Note: This unique tea set is out of stock. You might find yourself interested in a sensational Buddhism Feathers Chinese teapot or Peaceful Life chinese teapot.)

 

In an ensemble, each unique belt has an equally unique pair of shoes to match with. In tea drinking, the same meaning is the same, for one’s favorite tea, a set purple clay teapot and tea cups like this is the perfect match.

 

The rare purple clay found in Yixing, China is a substance almost covered with pores which allow the teapots and teacups to circulate air inside. This special characteristic makes the set hold more warmth than longer and retains more flavor and aroma the most than with other tea sets.

 

It is a surprise to know this, even more surprising that a clay teapot could do this.

There really is no need to finish that concoction in one single cup. The tea is best enjoyed by sipping it slowly, savoring all the taste it has and wanting more knowing that the next one will be better.

 

The outside surfaces of the set look glazed, like they were coated with a

transparent film or something. However, the secret lies inside the pot and cups, the unglazed insides. The no-glaze technique of the clay has the advantage of sucking in the flavor and aroma of the tea and returns them into the next brewing.

 

For this reason, it is suggested to use one tea set for one particular type of tea so that no unnecessary mixing of flavors takes place.

 

With this superb property, the demand for Yixing purple clay tea set has increased over the years. Sad to say, the production weans due to its massive use for centuries by royalties and commoners alike to the point that that the reserves are very much diminished.

 

However, the scarcity of the material is not the only reason for its limited production. The handcrafting of this set takes one craftsman with enough experience and training to finish. The design may look so simple, but the carving and shaping are things that only highly-skilled hands can make.

Just take a look at that perfectly aligned handle, mouth and spout of the teapot. With a height of 6.3 centimeters, width of 12 centimeters and a pot diameter of 5 centimeters, one will surely see a smooth flowing tea into the three cups, all 150 milliliters of it. This creation is a solid example of what a good teapot is, giving comfort and function.

The cups also have their share of the story. The 3.5-centimeter height of the cup is suited well for its 5.6-centimeter mouth diameter for easy sipping. Surely, one cup is not enough and one will breezily reach for the pot to pour another 40 milliliters of liquid satisfaction.

 

Tie guan yin tea, pu er tea and black tea, known for their strong-tasting flavors are the perfect blends for this set. The overwhelming aroma is slightly offset by the shapes of the pot and cups to make sipping more enjoyable. No wonder this set is themed as “round and integrating”. The absolute design just assimilates all the goodness of the tea and brings them back in full blast.

In Chinese lore, this tree symbolizes the wish of every human being to go to a world of riches, sunshine, and eternal life.

Cultural Note:  Did you know that an elephant wishes ‘wealth and honor ahead of you’ in China? That's because elephant in Chinese is pronounced ‘Xiang,’ which sounds the same as the Chinese word for prime minister. He who holds this post will bring great honor and wealth to his family. Thus, elephants and honor have been associated together throughout Chinese history.
