Beautifully hand-painted teapot, picturing a young child feeding hatchlings in a garden. The child's hair and her robe echoes a Qing Dynasty aesthetic, the fine details perfectly rendered in varying shades of cobalt blue.
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. On the lid are also scribed four characters, an ambigram that can be read at any starting point.
The teapot itself is slightly larger than our other Paper Porcelain wares, ideal for brewing larger leaf Formosa oolongs, white teas and jasmine pearls. 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.
