Special Order

A first-class Chinese porcelain tea set is from Jingdezhen and it is 375 US Dollars.

 

Check out the graceful fish illustrated in this set. The creature seems to be floating endlessly on the surfaces of this unique ceramic teapot and cups.

 

The potter made a very lasting impression and he got the picture of the fish accurately. The fish, specifically the koi fish represent good fortune, prosperity and riches. The drawings rest upon the smoothened, comforting surface of pastel coloring which is glazed to its dewy form.

 

Yes, the potter knew exactly what he was doing since the shape of the pot and cups are designed technically to make tea better. The 1:2 combinations of pot and cups are ideal for a one-on-one conversation with a loved one.

For that pouring and refilling, the double-layer covering of the set and the varnished surfaces protect the hands of the drinkers even if the materials naturally hold in the warmth of the drink for a longer period of time compared to lower quality tea sets. With this design and exquisite molding, it is not really a surprise to not keep someone’s hands off this set.

 

Even if drinking a cup of tea everyday is not someone’s ‘cup of tea’, the wonders of the set can still be felt. Just try showcasing this set in the living room with visitors around and compliments would flood in. some may even raise their eyebrows in envy. This just shows that the one who owns an elegant set like this has good taste.

 

What exactly is the secret? The potters in Jingdezhen, China surely know this stuff. They use a particular kind of clay that can only be excavated in the said place. However, a limited amount of this clay is processed every year due to its rarity. The emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties restricted its use. Today, Jingdezhen tea sets can be purchased by almost anyone who can afford.

Acquiring this set has a price. The way it looks today is different from its primitive form. With its intensive preparation, no wonder it is only manufactured in limited numbers.

 

The pure form of the clay is molded to form the shapes of the pot and cups. The design is hand-painted on the surfaces of the set and later heated at a temperature of more than seven hundred degrees Celsius in the kiln.

 

The heating process makes the porcelain and the colors of the design parched, soft and neat. After that tedious method, the finished artistic design provides a sense of relief and amazement.

 

Today, there are only a small number of highly-skilled craftsmen available. More unfortunate than ever, the production of this special Jingdezhen clay has decreased due to its lowered reserves. Some tea shops in the area are already predicting the coming shut-down of their stores few years from now.

 

However, that fact does not give enough reasons not to purchase a set like this. Its rarity has a price but a price worth paying. The Jingdezhen unique ceramic teapots and teacups are made only from master potters in the area so the quality is out of the question. Be a part of history and enjoy your favorite brew with a beautiful set like this.
