The Jingdezhen tea set
One of the secrets of the skilled craftsmen of Jingdezhen is the special clay they use for the porcelain. This material comes from local quarries, and only a limited quantity of Jingdezhen porcelain is produced every year.
The emperors of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties understood it, and restricted the use of Jingdezhen porcelain to the royal family.
Today, both tea lovers and porcelain collectors can acquire china tea sets made in Jingdezhen.
But unfortunately, the small number of skilled craftsmen and the ever-decreasing reserves of special clay make Jingdezhen production increasingly rare. Local workshops already know that they will have to close down in a few short years.
We select our china tea sets directly in Jingdezhen. We buy only from the most skillful potters, and we stand by the extreme quality of our selection.
