Thank you Pinterest !

Stumbled upon it by chance on Pinterest for decoration, and it looks even better in person. It’s become a lovely little detail in our home.

Fits right in with mine

Third piece I've added to the collection now, each one slightly different in glaze which is exactly why I keep coming back

Overview
The Xingyun Tea Ceremony Set is defined by its relationship between controlled form and unpredictable surface. The vertical ribbing gives every vessel a precise architectural structure, while the yaobian glaze introduces an element that develops naturally during firing.

The result is a collection with genuine variation from piece to piece. The rust brown, blue green and metallic transitions emerge differently across each ceramic surface, meaning that no two vessels present exactly the same visual pattern.

This unpredictability is particularly effective under changing light. The ribbed texture breaks the surface into narrow vertical planes, allowing the glaze to shift in appearance as the viewing angle changes. The result is a highly photogenic finish with substantial depth.

The scale of the collection also supports a more generous tea ritual. With approximately ten cups, a 300 ml teapot and a 220 ml fairness pitcher, the set is designed for shared service rather than intimate two person preparation.

The presentation case completes the premium positioning. Its anthracite textile texture, brass handle, gold toned hardware and interior inscription transform the packaging into part of the collection itself, making Xingyun equally suited to display and gifting.
Details

Reactive Yaobian Glaze
The glaze transforms unpredictably during firing, producing individual transitions between deep rust brown and metallic blue green. Each piece develops its own surface character.

Ribbed Ceramic Body
Fine vertical ribs cover the vessels, creating a tactile surface that catches and reflects light differently across every angle.

Complete Tea Service
The set combines a teapot, fairness pitcher and approximately ten matching cups, creating a generous arrangement designed for shared tea.

Fairness Pitcher
The 220 ml pitcher allows the brewed tea to be mixed before serving, helping distribute the infusion evenly between cups.

Premium Presentation Case
The complete set is presented in a textured anthracite case with gold toned clasps, a brass handle and an interior gold inscription reading “文化陶瓷”, meaning “ceramic culture”.

Material: High Fired Porcelain
Glaze: Reactive Yaobian Glaze
Colors: Rust Brown Blue Green Metallic
Finish: Vertical Ribbed Texture
Set Includes: 1 Teapot, 1 Fairness Pitcher and cups
Teapot Capacity: 300 ml
Fairness Pitcher Capacity: 220 ml
Cup Capacity: 100 ml
Weight: 3 kg
Packaging: Textured Anthracite Rigid Presentation Case

Care
Handle the porcelain carefully and avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended. Avoid sudden temperature changes and prolonged exposure to standing water. Allow all pieces to dry completely before returning them to the presentation case.

Because the reactive glaze varies naturally during firing, differences in color, pattern and tonal distribution between pieces are an inherent characteristic of the collection.

Everything you may want to knowProduct questions

A practical guide to materials, making, care, delivery and returns.

Choose a topic

What materials are used?

Materials vary by product and are listed on each product page.

Are the glazes food-safe?

Products intended for tea or food contact are selected for normal domestic use. Where a product is designed for drinking, brewing or serving tea, it is intended to be used for that purpose.

What materials are used?

Our pieces are handcrafted in stoneware and porcelain, sourced from regions in China renowned for centuries of ceramic tradition.

Jingdezhen, known as China's porcelain capital for over a thousand years, produces our fine porcelain pieces, prized for their smooth white body and ability to take detailed glazes. Yixing, famous for its zisha (purple clay) stoneware, produces our unglazed and reactive-glaze stoneware pieces, valued for their density and the way the clay develops character with use.

Each piece is fired and finished by hand, which is why glaze patterns, especially on reactive-glaze stoneware, vary slightly from piece to piece. Material and exact origin are noted on each individual product page.

Are your products lead-free?

For products intended for tea or food contact, we aim to source items suitable for normal domestic use. If a product has specific safety, material or testing information, we will include it on the product page. If you need confirmation for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

Can I use the product every day?

Yes, unless stated otherwise on the product page. Our tea ware is selected to balance design with practical everyday use. To preserve the finish, we recommend gentle handling and following the care instructions for each product.

Why do colours, glaze or texture vary slightly?

Many tea ware pieces are shaped, glazed, fired or finished in small batches. Heat, glaze, clay body and hand finishing can create subtle differences in colour, texture and surface. These variations are part of the character of crafted tea ware.

What materials are used?

Materials vary by product and are listed on each product page.

How are the pieces made?

The making process depends on the product. Pieces may be shaped, cast, glazed, fired, polished or finished by skilled workshops. This process gives each item its texture, weight, tone and character.

Why are there small variations between pieces?

Small variations are rare, but they can occasionally happen during shaping, glazing, firing or finishing. Slight differences in colour, surface, texture or form may occur from one piece to another and are part of the character of crafted tea ware.

Is it suitable as a gift?

Yes. Chadao pieces are selected to feel considered, calm and gift-ready, making them suitable for tea lovers, design-conscious homes and thoughtful everyday rituals.

Can I send it directly to someone?

Yes. Enter the recipient’s delivery address at checkout and make sure the address is complete and accurate. Order updates will be sent to the email address used at checkout.

Will the price be shown in the parcel?

We do not include pricing in the parcel where possible. Order confirmations and receipts are sent by email to the person who places the order.
