Jingdezhen is the ultimate in professional-level tea tasting. This high-fired porcelain is unparalleled, and used at the competition level for the way it shows a tea's truest “highest resolution” flavor, texture and aroma. We are lucky to work with the talented Yong Jing Tang Workshop, where they hand-throw every Jingdezhen piece for perfect precision and hand paint each beautiful adornment. The result is a level of teaware that is hard to even capture in photos, pieces that glow in the light and are a true pleasure to hold and sip from. This set features a hand painted gaiwan, two hand-painted cups and a hand-painted pitcher for an elegant tea set ready to show off the finest teas.
This stunning, vibrant tea set includes a gaiwan and four tasting cups, all meticulously hand-thrown, carefully air-dried, carved down exquisitely thin, high-fired, glazed and re-fired for an exquisite, fully non-reactive tea set ready for professional tasting. The whole set comes in a travel case so you can take your gallery-level Jingdezhen porcelain on the go!
This motif makes use of the stunning contrast between lustrous, nearly glowing white of the Jingdezhen porcelain itself and the deep ocean-blue of the glazing. Each piece is adorned with an abundant wreath, while the gaiwan features spring blooms forming an embroidery-style medallion. Hand-thrown and carved, each of the three pieces of this gaiwan need to be fired individually, and have to come together perfectly, even after shrinking 30-40% in firing- a feat of precision. The high-fired porcelain is fully vitrified and non-reactive, amplifying the aroma of your tea. Pouring with a Jingdezhen gaiwan like this is truly special- the pieces have a feeling in the hand, a balance, unlike anything else.

This fully hand made Jingdezhen porcelain cup and saucer is hand painted in traditional blue and white (qing hua) with red accent. Bats - representing good fortune or (in Buddhism) the five blessings - fly above beautifully rendered crashing waves on both the cup and saucer. The porcelain is fine and lustrous, thin and translucent in the light. Each color in this piece is fired separately at different temperature; to complete the the form and painting of a fully hand made piece like this, it requires the work of many different specialized craftspeople over several days.
