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.

The very production of this set is limited since it requires highly skilled hands to mold and paint them like this.
When we say limited, the manufacturers mean it with a capital “L”. The materials used are blue and white porcelain, so named because of the white pottery/porcelain being decorated with blue hue from cobalt oxide. Originally appearing as grayish-black, the cobalt oxide turns to blue when fired at a temperature of one thousand three hundred degrees Celsius. The blue and white pattern is glazed and fired. Due to its extensive use of heat in processing, this wonderful, dramatic set has a moniker of its own, Underglazed Blue Porcelain.
The whole fiery process does not end there. To make it look striking like this set, red coloring (out of copper oxide) is added so that it appears as a contrasting agent to the dominating hue of blue. One thousand two hundred fifty to one thousand two hundred eighty degrees Celsius of heat is applied inside the oven to produce a calming shade of red.
Again, the design is either hand made by stenciling or picture-transferring. The result is an artisan’s masterpiece and a tea lover’s gift.

With the whole firing process, it is but right to make the pots and cups double-layered so that the hands will not be burned from the hot brewed tea inside them. The drinkers will need the extra layer since the unique property of the material holds in the warmth of the tea for a long time. So even if someone has not sipped his/her tea yet, the heat is still there together with the flavor and aroma.
The shaping and molding are specifically planned with a purpose. The wavy lip of the cups is made so as to hold the aroma inside longer than the usual, perfect for those teas with strong fragrance. The material’s ability to retain is reiterated, showing its significance to the whole process of tae preparation, tea drinking and enjoyment.
While sipping the tea of choice infused in this set, one may wonder where the whole blue and porcelain industry started. Some six hundred years ago, this porcelain was mass-produced at Jingdezhen, China which earned its reputation as the “Porcelain Capital” of the world. It was more emphasized and done with industrial fineness by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1661-1722). Up to this day, the production at Jingdezhen continues but is now limited to a certain numbers per year.
These handmade ceramic teapots are works of arts by master potters in China. The years of practice and preparation and the finished product itself are proof of its high-quality.
