This handmade lid rest is crafted from Jianshui clay. A lid rest (盖置) is a small but useful piece: it gives the lid of your gaiwan or teapot a clean place to rest between infusions or when you pour water in, and protects the lid from collecting dust. Each piece is hand-shaped, and no two are alike.
Density is what makes Jianshui teaware the most versatile of the Four Famous Clays. You can drink Sheng Pu-erh out of it one afternoon and Dan Cong Oolong the next. The two-tone color you see on this cup comes from reduction firing. At 40ml volume, this teacup is perfect for Gong Fu Cha

It's excellent for sharing matcha with guests.
This 120ml Silver-Lined Shiboridashi Teapot is especially well-suited for brewing Japanese green teas. The vessel, made of famous Arita-Yaki Porcelain, is hand-carved using the Tobikanna technique (飛鉋) – a method of decorating the surface with rhythmic, fine markings. After carving, a layer of silver is brushed onto the surface, and the piece is fired again. Silver is known to affect the taste of water, making it feel softer and bringing out the tea's natural sweetness. Each piece is carved by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
The 60ml Handmade Woodfired "Weathered Rock" Teacup is crafted from high-iron Dehua clay and shaped by natural elements through a traditional wood-firing process.

The result is an earthy yet refined teacup that feels like a natural extension of the tea ritual, bringing together tradition, artistry, and the unpredictability of nature.
This Yun Si Fang teapot blends the aesthetics of round and square forms with a delicate, elegant design.
