Product Description
The Zisha wares have enjoyed popularity since the Ming and Qing dynasties, with the belief that they represent the pinnacle of tea utensils. SHANG XIA presents the Zisha Tea Cup Set, a collection that embodies iconic aesthetics from Eastern culture by showcasing a harmonious blend of five different Zisha clay materials to create a captivating tea ceremony landscape.
This complete set comprises five distinctively inspired teacups, each crafted with different types of Zisha clay: Purple clay from Huanglong Mountain, Red clay, Blended Green clay, Golden Duanni, and Qing Duanni. To depict Eastern classical imagery, these teacups are arranged from left to right as follows: "Latticed Windows," represent the elegance of Chinese gardens; " Square earth, round heaven" drawing from the principal concept in ancient Chinese cosmology; "Crabapple Blossom," auspicious wishes for wealth and abundance; "Lantern," the joyous symbols of Chinese folk culture; and "Rice Measure," an emblem of fertility and harvest. The meticulous combination of clay and mortar results in a distinctive dual-pore molecular structure after firing, imparting breathability without compromising water resistance. This preserves the authentic essence of the tea, leaving a lingering mellowness and fragrant aroma in the cup even after tasting. Accompanied by an exquisite paulownia wooden gift box, this set elegantly conceals its enduring allure, making it a truly cherished and fragrant gift.
