There’s a saying in China, “Sharp tools make good work.” Every Chinese tea lover knows if you want to enjoy the essence of your tea, a rare Jingdezhen china tea set like this one is essential.
Check out the hand-painted deigns on this Jingdezhen set, done in the impressionistic style. Blue and yellow streaks form lotus flowers. A lotus symbolizes spiritual purity in China, so sit back and relax while your tea set does all the work.
Here you have a covered "Gaiwan" cup with a bottomless cup base, a large uncovered recipient, and six beautiful cups, everything needed for a great tea time and a fantastic pot of tea!
Brewing tea in the large Gaiwan cup is a joy: the heat and aroma are held exceptionally well for a full, lasting brew every time. You may want to put your cup on the handy base so that it won’t scald your hands while you wait.

The special material used to make the cup brings the best out of each leaf with just a short infusion, so it won't be long before you're enjoying that great flavor.
For the best experience, pour your tea into the uncovered recipient after it’s brewed and then into the teacups. This way, everybody will have tea with the same color, aroma, and concentration.
Not to mention, the teardrop-shaped lip on the recipient is difficult to craft and makes pouring into the small cups a breeze.
Then the tea party kicks off. Now you can tell your friends about the remarkable history of your beautiful set.
It was made in Jingdezhen, a small town in southern China. This place has been famous for making high-quality porcelain for more than 1,500 years and is sometimes called the 'Porcelain Capital' of the country.
Marco Polo (1254 - 1324) visited China centuries ago. He found Jingdezhen porcelain and brought it back to Europe. Before long, Jindezhen became world-famous, and demand in Europe skyrocketed. Fake Chinese tea sets were commonplace on many Western streets, but they could never match the skill of the Jingdezhen artisans.

While this set looks quite simple, there’s nothing quaint about the craftsmanship. To master the modeling, firing, and painting processes, our master potter had to study for many years.
Only a limited number of true Jingdezhen sets are produced each year, so be proud of your tea set and let your tea shine!

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.”

This rare blue and white Jingdezhen porcelain tea set ensures an excellent tea-drinking experience. The high quality porcelain brings the true flavor and excellent aroma out of any tea.
The Chinese call this a “Gaiwan” set. Gaiwan literally means “cup with lid,” but it’s nothing like a standard cup back home.
Brew the tea in the cup with a saucer and a lid. The lid captures the aroma of your tea, and the special design holds heat for a perfect brew. Then use the lid as a strainer as you pour tea into the uncovered recipient for serving.
Emperors and scholars have brewed tea this way in China for centuries. It brings out the best flavor, and you can smell the aromatic tea leaves in the pot after serving.

Look at the man fishing in a quiet mountain stream painted on the teapots and teacups. It represents the harmony between man and nature in China. It is a tranquil place to rest your eyes as you sip your tea.
But that’s not the only secret behind the design: it is said that the lid, cup, and saucer in this set represent heaven, man, and earth. Gaiwan cups were invented by the daughter of a powerful official who was tired of burning her hands when using other tea sets.
Now back to this special porcelain material. This rare set was created in Jingdezhen, China’s ‘Porcelain Capital.’

This small town has a 1,500 year history of making the most celebrated porcelain in the country. There are two very good reasons why it is so highly regarded.
First, the process of firing porcelain in Jingdezhen is incredibly complicated and takes days to complete. Sometimes tens or even hundreds of pieces are scrapped before a perfect piece is made.
Second, this special porcelain clay can only be found in Jingdezhen. The clay will be gone in just a few years, and sets like this will no longer be made.
So hopefully you’re ready to enjoy the best your tea has to offer, and brace yourself for the “oohs” and “ahhs” of your guests.

How do you make the perfect cup of tea? Start with a Chinese tea set that draws out the best health benefits and flavor!
This set was handmade in world-famous Jingdezhen, a small town in southern China. The beautiful porcelain tradition here started over 1,500 years ago, and there’s a secret about the special clay here that not many people know.
Check out the large cup with a lid, called a ‘Gaiwan.’ The special bell shape circulates tea in the cup and forces tea leaves open for a complete infusion. Tea only needs to be brewed in this cup for a short time to ensure the best release of everything in your tea.
For an enhanced experience, you have a ‘Gong Dao’ jug for mixing tea. Pour brewed tea out of the Gaiwan in here to achieve a balanced flavor and concentration of tea.

Also, the small sipping cups allow for pleasurable drinking: a flared rim is designed to cool tea down and allow a smooth flow into your mouth. The true color of your tea shines against their lustrous white color.
Not only are your taste buds happy, but also you have a great place to rest your eyes! The blue-and-white hand painting of cats chasing butterflies symbolizes wild fun. This is truly a rare sight of great porcelain craftsmanship.
Making this set requires special Kaolin clay that has become quite difficult to find. The pure white material gives the porcelain its jade-luster look and thin, delicate feel.

Local people still say that a god gifted the clay to Jingdezhen. He dressed up as a dying beggar and was helped by a local couple. So he rewarded the town with a mountain of white Kaolin clay, to help the people earn a living.
In accordance with age-old tradition, this set was fired at 1,200 degrees Celsius for two days and two nights. During the process, potters have to ensure the temperature stays stable. They can only rely on their years of experience.
With a pleasing simplicity, the set tops your table with stylish poise, and shows your taste in fine Chinese art.
