Paper Porcelain
Hand-crafted from thin, almost weightless porcelain, our Paper Porcelain tea ware is exquisitely beautiful. Each piece is hand-shaped, then meticulously painted in varied shades of blue by master artisans in Jingdezhen, the center of porcelain craftsmanship in China.
Our collection of Paper Porcelain pieces represent a style of craftsmanship called “Blue and White”, for the rich glazes of cobalt blue on the pure white of the porcelain canvas. First developed in the 14th century only after cobalt oxide was introduced by Persian merchants, the style was further refined during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
Details abound: from the perfect fit of each lid and the perfectly executed washes in varied shades of blue, to the hollow handles to ensure that each piece is evenly fired. We recommend our Paper Porcelain ware for brewing green and white teas and for drawing out the sweeter notes of our Formosa oolongs.
