Verdant Tea

We are excited to present Peng Hua Qing Yuan studio’s revival of 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. This strainer does not use a metal or plastic mesh, but rather a extremely fine array of holes directly in the porcelain.

This dream-like, abstract hand-painted porcelain tea strainer from Peng Yuan Qing Hua studio shows off their masterful, gestural painting skills and the depth of color contrast they achieve between lustrous white porcelain and traditional blue glaze. Their inspiration point was the enveloping feeling of the aromatic steam that rises from the tea set and catches the light in misty waves. Their high-fired, highly-vitrified porcelain is completely non-reactive and perfect to show off a true sense of any tea. The strainer is uniquely made from fine hotels in the porcelain itself, not a plastic mesh, making the whole piece more durable.

This thin, fine and lustrous porcelain strainer was meticulously hand-painted by Peng Yuan Qing Hua Studio in De Hua, one of China’s ancient porcelain capitols. The fine brushwork of a detailed pattern like this take years of practice, a good eye and a steady hand.
