Dragon egg ceramic and silver teapot

¥33,500

Ceramic and silver teapot, a Dragon egg as we like. Pure ovoid lines, shine and luminosity for superb artisanal pottery. Its refined, precise pattern executed by hand takes shape with the plated silver, and gives a feeling of depth and relief. The dragon, emblem of wisdom, power and luck, can be a magnificent masculine present. The egg represents life, projects. 

The process of silver gilding is to grind 99.9% silver into fine powder melted at high temperature in ice water, and then paint the surface of the teapot. It is annealed at high temperature so that the silver takes shape with the ceramic. Then comes polishing, of which we can see the traces of manual intervention. We then proceed to execute this wonderful Dragon motif, rich in color, detail and precision.

This teapot has the same qualities as a silver teapot. Remember that silver is germicidal and bactericidal, it softens the tea water which makes it tastier "it has the softness of silk" say the ancients.

Capacity 170ml, height 9cm, diameter 11cm. Ball-to-hole filter.
