The evocative dragon and phoenix relief across this monumental celadon tea storage jar shows off the depth and luster of the glaze. Hand-finished and fired at a traditional Longquan celadon kiln, this tea storage jar is large enough for over a pound of most teas or several broken-up pu’er cakes - perfect for keeping your absolute favorite tea in easy reach, and lovely enough to make a permanent fixture on your tea table.
This intriguing design combines traditional celadon craft with a distinctly modern double-lid perfect for teas that require an airtight protected environment like fresh Tieguanyin or for long term aging of white tea and roasted oolongs. The outer lid is a screw top, while the inner lid pops in and out for a very secure fit. The deep, beautiful celadon glazing brings elegance to any tea setup.
