The featured set includes a Gaiwan and accompanying tea cups, all crafted from the renowned "Qing Hua Ci" (Blue & White Porcelain) of Jingdezhen town, which is historically known as the "Porcelain Capital" due to its 1700-year-old history of producing some of the world's finest ceramics.
The Gaiwan, with options of 140cc and 175cc, is a traditional Chinese lidded bowl used for infusing and drinking tea. Its design includes a saucer, bowl, and lid that works in harmony to brew the tea leaves perfectly. The intricate patterns on the Gaiwan depict classic blue and white motifs, which are not only aesthetically pleasing but also carry cultural significance.
The tea cups, modest in size at 35cc, are perfect for savoring tea in small, flavorful quantities as is customary in Gongfu tea sessions. Each cup is handmade, which means there might be slight variations in size and form, adding to the uniqueness and charm of the set.
The blue and white patterns on the porcelain are gracefully painted, showcasing traditional motifs that may symbolize prosperity, luck, and happiness. Jingdezhen's blue and white porcelain is celebrated for its delicate artwork, translucent quality, and the purity of its kaolin clay.
This set, marked KTM000, is more than functional; it's a collector's delight, offering a touch of Chinese heritage and the timeless beauty of Jingdezhen ceramics to the tea-drinking experience.
