Verdant Tea

This full gongfu tea set features a gaiwan, teaware stand and two tea cups hand painted with a beautiful persimmon motif. The Peng Yuan Qing Hua Studio shows off their skill with stunning, highly stylized persimmons, hand-glazed in the style of screen paintings, with each persimmon’s sculptural shape captured in their brushwork. The deep rich orange contrasts with classic porcelain blue for a deeply traditional old-school effect. The gaiwan pairs with a grandiose stand that can double as a tea boat for modern gongfu tea, while the tea cups' tall shape concentrates the aroma of your tea, showing off teas like oolong especially gracefully. The highly-vitrified, high-fired porcelain is non-reactive, showing off each tea's true aroma.

This beautiful piece from Peng Yuan Qing Hua studio is inspired by Kangxi-era famille rose style porcelain,which leaned heavily on light pinks, floral patterns and enamel overlay. The soft, almost liquid feeling of the lotus is achieved through old school vitrified enamel overglaze, where glass is ground up and mixed with pigments and re-fired to build up layering. In a nod to modern gongfu style, this gaiwan is saucerless since so many gongfu setups include a tea boat, tea board or unique saucer in their set ups. The porcelain is high fired to make it non reactive, perfect for reflecting true aromas of any tea.

This beautifully detailed landscape, complete with textural embossed patterns, is the Peng Yuan Qing Hua Studio’s clever nod to the “Willow Pattern” or “Blue Willow” landscape pattern. The English porcelainware tradition was inspired by old school china, and came with an intricate and shifting legend and a poem that evolves from a Chinese temple to Dover. The craftspeople at Peng Yuan Qing Hua are reclaiming this legend run wild with their own Willow Pattern, an entirely hand painted piece made from high-fired porcelain that reflects the true aromatics of your tea.

This beautifully translucent porcelain full gongfu tea set includes a gaiwan, pitcher, fine strainer, and two matching tea cups. These pieces are made in Dehua’s most famous and classical style - milk white, also known as Blanc de Chine or “China White.” 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.
