A great Chinese classic and popular with this small tea service in beautiful porcelain from Jingdezhen. We recognize the traditional motif of a bird on a flowering branch, probably a flowering plum tree, emblem of the happy times of spring after hard winter times. The dragon on a yellow background emblem of wisdom and luck, for the 2nd model. And then the blue white illustrated here for the 3rd model by peonies, symbols of beauty and love, and also of abundance and social success. This is what each of these timeless sets wishes you when you have tea.

A small teapot full of freshness, the enamel of the ceramic is shiny, the color loaded with pigment of a tonic and invigorating green. The light and powerful pattern was painted freehand. Small "cracks" in the thickness of the "ice" influence the light which plays with the colors with changing reflections, and gives them depth. The Borneol glaze is characterized by the application in several layers. 3D cracks reflect light and give relief to underglaze colors. Capacities of 2 models: the pear teapot is 170ml, the smallest 150ml, the Chinese ones are small, we can consider that they are individual teapots. craftsmanship Jingdezhen

Truer than true, except that watermelons are often a little bigger! This small Chinese Yixing teapot looks like it came from a nearby garden. Superb "biomimicry" one would say in scientific jargon. No, here the craftsmen have a fabulous brushstroke, with Zisha clay as recourse. Wonderful rock clay from the Yixing region, the zisha or purple clay, which is becoming rare.

A superb craftsmanship for this pure silver teapot. Indeed, we observe a double know-how, hammering, shaping and partitioning. The result is a work of art, the enamel of the flowers and butterflies is subtly pigmented in gradation, while the thin partitioning on the hammered silver is clearly visible around the patterns. The smooth handle and spout stand out brilliantly, like the lid button.  Small reminders: The technique of cloisonné consists in forming the design by welding thin partitions, here of silver. It is then sufficient to fill the cavities formed by the enamel. For the shaping and the hammering of the silver, the craftsman would have needed thousands of hammer blows. Silver has anti-bacterial properties, the ancients used it for the preservation of foodstuffs. They said water is the mother of tea and the pot the father of tea. But also with silver the water becomes as soft as silk, the tea is improved. Capacity of the teapot: 200ml Argent sterling 999 Origin: China Yindu Brand: Zysy
