The "Bronze" Iron-Gilded Aged Clay Tea Set, featuring Gaiwan and two matching teacups, has a distinctively vintage appeal. Crafted from aged clay from Fujian, each piece undergoes a high-temperature oxygen reduction firing process. The iron glaze in this process creates an antique bronze finish, giving the set its unique retro look.
The 170ml Gaiwan has a spouted rim and a lid featuring small perforations for efficient tea straining, akin to Japanese Houhin. It ensures a smooth pour while enhancing the overall tea-brewing experience. The two 50ml teacups are designed to complement the Gaiwan perfectly, both in aesthetics and function. The iron glaze gives each piece a rich, textured surface and enhances the tea's flavor profile, adding a perceived subtle sweetness to the brew.
The high iron content of the glaze, combined with the high-temperature oxygen reduction firing process, results in a durable, visually striking set that is as functional as it is beautiful. The ergonomic design of both the Gaiwan and the teacups ensures a comfortable grip, making the set ideal for casual as well as more formal tea sessions.
