This set includes five cups made in Dehua, China. Each cup is hand-painted with a different motif: landscape, lotus, bamboo, mountain, and persimmon. The brushwork is smooth and expressive, bringing each design to life. All five cups use underglaze painting and feature the classic “douli” (conical hat) shape. They are fired at high temperatures, giving them a dense body and a smooth, delicate glaze that feels warm to the touch. The overall look is elegant and refined.
The cups show the typical characteristics of Ge ware, with a network of natural crackles across the surface. These patterns, known as “golden threads and iron lines,” become more distinct as they are nourished by tea over time.
The glaze is a soft gray-green color. The rim is slightly thickened to enhance the drinking experience.

This is a simple and convenient tea-water separation cup that combines a fairness cup (gongdao cup) and a built-in infuser in one design.

What is Tuanhua (团花)?
Tuanhua, also known as “ball-flower patterns,” doesn’t refer to any specific flower. Instead, it’s a decorative style where flowers, fruits, and geometric elements are arranged within a circular outline, forming a compact “ball-like” motif. The earliest versions date back to the Shang dynasty, appearing on bronze and white pottery. By the Yongzheng period of the Qing dynasty, tuanhua became widely used in imperial porcelain—especially in famille-rose ware—and later spread to folk kilns, becoming a beloved decorative style.
Tuanhua designs are known for their lively, free layouts. Circles of different sizes are arranged in seemingly casual yet harmonious compositions—sometimes single, sometimes overlapping in pairs or groups of three. Often paired with colors like white, black, and celadon white, they create a light, balanced visual effect. These motifs are commonly used on porcelain, clothing, and furniture, symbolizing reunion, prosperity, and completeness, carrying blessings of good fortune.

What is a Zhuni Teapot?
Zhuni is a type of zisha clay, belonging to the “red clay” family, and is regarded as the finest and most delicate among them — often considered the “noble” or “gem” of zisha clay.
It has a low sand content and a fragile texture, making it prone to deformation or cracking during firing.
Because of this, the yield rate is very low, and teapots made from it are known as Zhuni teapots.

This Zhuni Teapot was handcrafted by Cai Songkai, a renowned Zhuni teapot master from Chaozhou.
The design follows the “Shuiping” (Level) teapot concept, first created by Ming dynasty artisans. The idea centers on perfect balance — a rounded, full body with a stable center of gravity, allowing the teapot to remain level whether it floats or sinks when filled with water. This reflects the Eastern philosophy of harmony and balance — “peace through equilibrium, virtue through harmony.”
Structurally, the spout, lid rim, and handle top all align on the same horizontal plane, with the spout, lid, and handle forming a straight line. This precise geometry prevents external water from entering the teapot and ensures stability when placed in a bowl — hence the name “Shuiping Teapot.”
The artist’s surname or signature is engraved on the inside of the lid and the handle.
This teapot shape is particularly suitable for high-aroma teas, especially Oolong teas such as Phoenix Dancong, Tieguanyin, and Dong Ding Oolong.
Capacity: 114 ml

Unit price perThis teapot is crafted from Ruyao porcelain, featuring an elegant ink-painted bamboo motif. The design carries a poetic calmness paired with a quiet simplicity. The bamboo leaves, arranged with natural balance and rhythm, create a serene atmosphere that blends beautifully with the spirit of tea.
Ruyao porcelain is known for its natural crackle patterns, which form uniquely on the surface as the glaze cools. These lines cannot be controlled by human craftsmanship, so every teapot has its own one-of-a-kind pattern. During brewing, the tea gradually seeps into these lines, allowing the crackles to deepen and become more visible over time—a signature charm of Ruyao ware. The glaze itself has a jade-like texture, offering a soft, buttery sheen rather than a strong glassy shine.
This teapot comes from Dehua, China’s renowned porcelain capital. The manufacturer, Tang Feng, is a long-established brand with decades of experience, trusted for its consistent craftsmanship and reliable quality.

What is a Zhuni Teapot?
Zhuni is a type of zisha clay, belonging to the “red clay” family, and is regarded as the finest and most delicate among them — often considered the “noble” or “gem” of zisha clay.
It has a low sand content and a fragile texture, making it prone to deformation or cracking during firing. Because of this, the yield rate is very low, and teapots made from it are known as Zhuni teapots.
