The "Bronze" Iron-Gilded Aged Clay Tea Set, featuring one Shiboridashi and two matching teacups, has a distinctively vintage appeal. Crafted from aged clay from Dehua, each piece undergoes a high-temperature reduction firing process. The iron glaze in this process creates an antique bronze finish that gives the set its unique retro look.
The 170ml Shiboridashi has a spouted rim and a lid featuring small perforations for efficient tea straining, akin to Japanese Shiboridashi. It ensures a smooth pour while enhancing the overall tea-brewing experience. The two 50ml teacups are designed to complement the Shibo perfectly, both in aesthetics and function. The iron glaze gives each piece a rich, textured surface and interacts beneficially with the tea, adding a subtle sweetness to the brew and enhancing its flavor profile.
The high iron content of the glaze combined with the high-temperature reduction firing process results in a durable, visually striking set that is as functional as it is beautiful. The ergonomic design of both the Shiboridashi and the teacups ensures a comfortable grip, making the set ideal for both casual tea sessions and more formal Senchado and Gong Fu Cha practices.
Each piece in this set reflects the skill and care involved in creating traditional Chinese teaware. The set’s cohesive design and unique properties make it a prized addition for tea enthusiasts. Enjoy the refined flavors of your favorite tea with this Iron Glaze Gilded set, which combines elegance and practicality.
