Glazed Teacup, 50mL, Series 1

Regular price $12.00


Purely glazed 50mL high quality teacups, hand-pitched Kaolin clay teawares from Jingdezhen. 

Matching Gaiwans found here (except the lilac, the purple Gaiwan is a lighter shade)


1. Material: Kaolin clay and thicker blowing on the surface, which
makes the density three times higher than machine-made sets,
this makes a slower heat transferring, a more comfortable
touchness and not getting hot when users hold hot tea;
2. High temperature firing: high tempareture firing, every gaiwan
and cup were placed in the gas kiln under the temperature of 1300°C -1350°C,which makes a much lower water absorption rate less
than 0.2% compared with low temperature tea sets, which makes it easier to clean tea stains and much stronger than low temperature porcelains.

Tip: to differentiate low and high temperature porcelain: you can tap one cup to another, you will find the sound very clear and melodious like a bell, while low temperature fired porcelains are dull sound
