Fine paper porcelain teapot, hand-painted with a delicate image of a peony blossom in exquisite shades of cobalt. Graceful, organic lines contribute to the pot's airy feel.
Four characters are scribed on the opposite side: “He Jing Qing Ji" or "Harmony, Respect, Clarity, Solitary." Taken together, the phrase is a Chinese idiom describing the purpose of tea making and ceremony.
Features a modern design with a stylized handle. For those with some arcane knowledge of tea history, you’ll recognize the stylized handle as one designed for personal tea pots intended to be held and poured directly into one’s mouth. Said practice would be done during the Qing Dynasty while strolling down the street, fan in the other hand. We don’t expect you to use the tea pot in the same fashion, though we’d like a photograph sent to us if you do intend to do so.
Hand-crafted in Jingdezhen, each piece is shaped by hand with hollow handles, hand-painted in cobalt oxide under a glossy translucent glaze, then high-fired to produce its classic blue hue. Our paper porcelain tea pots are a blend of old and new, crafted and hand painted in the Ming Dynasty tradition with a modern aesthetic.
