Description
Quiet, light and softly shifting. This set from our Bailiao series is glazed in a gentle gradient that begins as pure white at the rim and settles into a soft colour toward the base. Choose from three colourways, each named after a traditional Chinese colour. No two pieces fade in quite the same way, so each one carries its own small variation.
The set brings together everything you need to brew and share a pot of tea: a gaiwan with saucer for brewing, a pitcher for pouring and sharing, and cups to drink from. The thin porcelain is light in the hand and lets the colour of the tea show clearly. Its calm, uncluttered shapes sit easily on a tea table and let the tea, not the teaware, take centre stage.
Each piece is made in a partly handmade process. The porcelain body is formed in a mould, then finished by hand: a craftsperson trims each piece, applies the glaze, and hand-colours the gradient. It is this hand finishing that gives every piece its own softly different fade, while the mould keeps the shapes consistent across the set.
Made in Jingdezhen, the Bailiao series is designed for everyday tea. Use the pieces together as a complete set, or choose individual pieces to build your own.
