The more you use the teapot, the better the flavor becomes. Because the teapot is crafted out of clay, there are many pores in the body, which allows tea nutrients to build up and give a boost to following brews.
Some say, if you use the teapot for enough times, you can brew a fragrant cup of tea with putting in the tea leaves.
When the tea becomes cold, you can even put the teapot over a fire to heat it again. With usual teapots, you can’t do such things, they will break.
The tea set adds a lovely retro touch to your home. Graced with pictographic designs, the tea set has the feel that it is just excavated from a Ming Dynasty tomb 500 years ago.

This special tea set is from Dehua, China, and it is only 73 US Dollars.
The Dehua region in the Fujian province of China was one of the main ceramic producers and distributors in the ancient times. Going back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), over a hundred furnaces have been discovered. This is where porcelain objects and other materials were processed to achieve their most luminous form translated only as ivory white or milk white. When it has reached new destinations, this famous Chinese porcelain was coined with a new term by the West as Blanc de Chine or Chinese White. Giving justice to its chic nickname, the place still prides itself with its old reputation by producing almost the same type of tea wares now more aptly called antique tea sets.

What is it in the Dehuan porcelain that when refined turns into a classical example of beauty? The low level of iron oxide (red-orange pigment that turns white when burned) found in it needs it to be fired in a temperature that transforms it into a pale form of white. This is a characteristic which makes it different from the equally famous Jingdezhen porcelain.
It has found its way to become a trademark of Dehuan tea ware industry. The typical antique tea set contains one pot, six cups and a gaiwan.
The teapot and tea cups’ size are somewhat similar with other tea sets on Chinese cultures. The teapot’s height of 8 centimeters and a lip diameter of 13 centimeters can hold enough water (30-400 millimeters) for pouring and refilling. The cup’s lip has a wider diameter of 8.6 centimeters than its base and standing at a height of 4.2 centimeters. The mathematical disproportion is a scientific marvel to tea industry since the design commands function and comfort all in one.

The gaiwan’s addition to the classical tea set is a historical mark. Prior to its discovery, tea was normally sipped from the container from which it was brewed from. Since its introduction, the gaiwan became a staple in tea sets. A gaiwan is made up of a saucer, a bowl and a lid. For the tea to be brewed in the bowl and be able to witness it, the function of the lid comes in place. This piece, as well the other pieces in the set are the preferred materials when infusing green tea and white tea, known to have delicate aromas and flavors. The article’s properties make it ideal for preserving the distinctness of those two teas.
Over the glossy surfaces of the tea sets sprawls a design of a Peking
(Beijing) Opera Mask. This is the biggest highlight of the set. The significance of the design lies on the three colors of red, black and white used in forming the mask. Red signifies courage, loyalty and devotion. The black color indicates boldness and selflessness. The white one suggests cleverness and wickedness. These three colors all represent famous Chinese personalities portrayed in plays in the course of history.
The vintage design and the architecture of the package are two signs of the Chinese’s rich cultural tradition and history and their ingenuity and skills. Specifically, the antique tea sets made of Dehuan porcelain are a constant reminder of the nation’s glorious past, now shared with the rest of the world.
See what one of our clients say about this beautiful Dehua Peking Opera Mask Tea Set
“I am very impressed with this product, the Peking Opera Mask tea set from Think Beijing. It is made of Blanc de Chine porcelain (Dehua) and is from Fujian province in mainland China. This is from an area where the Peking Opera is well known.
“I have not stopped using this set since I received it five days ago. It is very well crafted and looks every bit as good as the product photos imply. It is an absolute bargain and has proven itself to be ideal for brewing a wide variety of Chinese green tea, as stated in the product description. This set has already replaced all of my gaiwans that were being used to brew green tea.
“The lid fit and pour of this gaiwan is much better than average, based on my experience with several others from both Taiwan and China. I always had a strong dislike of gaiwans due to the mess they (or I) make, but the functionality of this set is superb.
“With the Peking Opera mask theme, this set is also very entertaining to use.
“This is one of the best tea ware purchases I have ever made. As an added bonus, I was not aware that this set included a very sturdy, high-quality gift box. I rate this set 5 stars for functionality and 5 stars for value.
Every day, visitors from around the world flock to museums to see some of the most beautiful porcelain the world has ever known.
Few, however, realize that many china tea set collections come from a small, rarely visited town called Jingdezhen.
Excavations show that the earliest pure china tea sets were made in Jingdezhen. Artisans started making porcelain items here over 1,700 years ago, when much of the rest of the world was only making bland pottery vessels.
People quickly found porcelain Chinese tea sets to be much more beautiful, more valuable, and more durable than older kinds of pottery.
Chinese tea sets from this town became such a hit in the 16th century that a piece of Jingdezhen porcelain was worth more than its weight in gold.
If you visit Jingdezhen today, you can see that china tea set production is still being carried out in the traditional manner. Miners use shovels to mine in tunnels, and workers sift through all the clay by hand.
Even the transferring the clay from one place to another is done with pure muscle. Artisans handcraft and hand-paint many of the pieces, which are then fired in old-style kilns entirely made of clay and bricks.
Locals here still tell a beautiful story about the town. One day, a goddess came to visit. She was amazed by its scenery, and couldn’t resist taking a bath in the river flowing by. As soon as she found a young man peeking, she hurried to fly away. Due to such haste, she forgot her scarf. The scarf then became a waterfall in the river. You can see the waterfall when you visit the town today.
Jingdezhen china tea sets have some of the most sought-after qualities in fine china. The clay found here is some of the purest white clay in the world, and a hard, bright glaze that shines beautifully is used to finish every piece.
Also, Jingdezhen items are known to be paper thin to the touch, because the clay is very solid and allows potters to create delicate pieces that would fall apart if they used any other material. What’s more, you can even strike a piece of Jingdezhen porcelain to hear a pleasant chiming sound.
These qualities cannot be duplicated: not only is the pure white clay unique to Jingdezhen, but also it takes thousand-year-old techniques to craft a single Jingdezhen Chinese tea set. A tiny mistake during the process could ruin weeks of work and months of income.
These techniques take a master potter a lifetime to learn and perfect.
No wonder European potters tried for centuries to duplicate the secrets of the fine Jingdezhen porcelain, but to no avail. And Chinese emperors once chose the town to build their imperial kilns.
Today, Chinese people reserve Jingdezhen china tea sets only for the most important occasions.
