Hand-Painted Yixing Tea Set

A Yixing clay tea set in warm reddish-brown zisha clay, with bowl-shaped cups engraved with calligraphy and a teapot decorated with a hand-painted scene of traditional Chinese architecture and bamboo. The unglazed, textured exteriors of the cups create a striking contrast with their white-glazed interiors. Even though one cup has two tiny chips (which can be seen in pictures), the set is still elegant and useful, making it perfect for serving tea or showcasing Yixing artistry. This set, which was made for gongfu cha rituals, combines the natural tea-enhancing qualities of clay with decorative flair.
