This handmade china tea set features lifelike figures, multiple colors, exquisite calligraphy, and rich three-dimensional images.
Inside the teacups and pots, the Jingdezhen porcelain shines as white as snow. The true color of your tea is clearly visible against this pure background.
Also, the cups are designed with a wavy lip to hold the aroma of any tea for a very long time. They are especially fit for tea with a strong fragrance.
While enjoying your tea, also admire the vivid patterns and elaborate paintings on your cup. The designs show boys playing games together and kicking a shuttlecock. They are dressed in ancient-style Chinese clothes.

The elegant calligraphy on the lid has four beautifully written Chinese characters that mean “A Comforting Fragrance.”
This set is not only beautiful, but also rare. It is made of Kaolin, a unique porcelain clay that is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The natural, superior white clay is ideal for making china tea sets like this one. It is only found near Jingdezhen, a town famous for its top-of-the-line porcelain.
The tea set has a covered cup that is called ‘Gaiwan’ by Chinese. It includes a lid, a large tea cup, and a saucer. Some say these three pieces represent heaven, man, and earth.
The Gaiwan cup is usually used as teapot. Its hard glaze captures heat and the lid bottles up all steam and fragrance for a full brew every time. After brewing, pour the tea into the uncovered recipient to be served.

With these advantages, no wonder the late eminent writer Lu Xun once wrote: “To enjoy good tea, a Gaiwan should be used.”
