The flowers depicted in the set are hand-painted. The colors are a feast to the eyes. Imagine the dexterity of the craftsmen who make this one.

From being dug out in, the clay undergoes a massive transformation. The artisans obscurely shape and mold the clay into astounding figures of pure artistry. On its not-yet smooth form, colors of red, yellow and green were played in harmony to take shape into flowers and leaves.

With a temperature of almost one thousand degrees Celsius, the painted clay is left inside the kiln for a period of time. The result is a softer, smoother, and glazed version of the set. The colors are neatly coated with a glossy appearance which is truly a sight to behold. Temperatures must be stable and must be watched carefully so as not to damage the delicateness of the set.  Only the skills possessed by these talented craftsmen can create such a set.

With the set’s pure ethereal appearance, the color of the tea stands out. Not only are the senses of smell and taste get delighted, the eyes also get to experience the joy this Chinese tea set brings.

With a long history behind the use of this clay which was believed to start from the Ming Dynasty, the extraordinary clay in Jingdezhen has dropped to an alarming amount. This reason, together with the limited number of human resources, the production of the set has also narrowed.

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.

For that pouring and refilling, the double-layer covering of the set and the varnished surfaces protect the hands of the drinkers even if the materials naturally hold in the warmth of the drink for a longer period of time compared to lower quality tea sets. With this design and exquisite molding, it is not really a surprise to not keep someone’s hands off this set.

Even if drinking a cup of tea everyday is not someone’s ‘cup of tea’, the wonders of the set can still be felt. Just try showcasing this set in the living room with visitors around and compliments would flood in. some may even raise their eyebrows in envy. This just shows that the one who owns an elegant set like this has good taste.

What exactly is the secret? The potters in Jingdezhen, China surely know this stuff. They use a particular kind of clay that can only be excavated in the said place. However, a limited amount of this clay is processed every year due to its rarity. The emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties restricted its use. Today, Jingdezhen tea sets can be purchased by almost anyone who can afford.

Acquiring this set has a price. The way it looks today is different from its primitive form. With its intensive preparation, no wonder it is only manufactured in limited numbers.

The pure form of the clay is molded to form the shapes of the pot and cups. The design is hand-painted on the surfaces of the set and later heated at a temperature of more than seven hundred degrees Celsius in the kiln.

The heating process makes the porcelain and the colors of the design parched, soft and neat. After that tedious method, the finished artistic design provides a sense of relief and amazement.

Today, there are only a small number of highly-skilled craftsmen available. More unfortunate than ever, the production of this special Jingdezhen clay has decreased due to its lowered reserves. Some tea shops in the area are already predicting the coming shut-down of their stores few years from now.

However, that fact does not give enough reasons not to purchase a set like this. Its rarity has a price but a price worth paying. The Jingdezhen unique ceramic teapots and teacups are made only from master potters in the area so the quality is out of the question. Be a part of history and enjoy your favorite brew with a beautiful set like this.
