This unique, almost glowing milky glaze is achieved through a fusion of glaze and body, and the introduction of iron oxide for an oxidative firing environment, different from modern reductive kiln firing. This milky style was made famous in statues of Guanyin fired in Dehua’s ancient kilns, a style that looks like white jade, but with a thinness, luster and glow only possible in fine porcelain.

Each piece of high-fired, highly-vitrified porcelain is non-reactive and perfect to show off a true sense of any tea. Pair with your favorite tea cup, from hand painted porcelain to celadon or Jian Zhan.
