A Japanese-minimalist tea set in a soft matte glaze: a bail-handle teapot and six cups, carved in relief with a line of distant mountains. Large enough to pour for a whole table — the pot holds 1100 ml.
The Bail-Handle Teapot
提梁壶 (tí liáng hú) — a pot lifted by a loop that arcs over the lid rather than a side handle. Here the loop is a length of iron-art metal finished with a nylon cord and a small steel pendant, so the pot hangs from two points and pours with an easy tilt. Inside sits a stainless-steel strainer for loose leaf.
A Matte Glaze, A Distant Mountain
The body is glazed matte (磨砂釉) — soft to the touch, without shine, the way river stone feels. Around the pot and each cup runs a relief-carved ridge of distant mountains (远山), a single quiet line repeated like a horizon.
Cream & Zen Black
Two finishes. Cream (米黄) is a warm off-white, like rice paper in morning light. Zen Black (禅风黑) is a deep, matte black, the color of ink and still water. Both read as quiet, modern, and uncluttered — the Japanese-minimalist line the set is named for.
Big Enough to Share
The pot fills to 1100 ml and each cup to 130 ml — a full set for six, or a generous pour for two. It suits black tea, green tea, flower tea, pu-erh, or tieguanyin. The set is high-fired and handmade.
Choose Your Tray
Order the pot and six cups alone, or with a serving tray: a bamboo tray, a lightweight melamine tray, or a long bamboo tray for a fuller table. Each tray is matched to the set's matte, understated look.
Care
- The ceramic pot is for brewing only — do not heat it on a stove or boil water in it
- Hand wash and air-dry to protect the matte glaze
- Fragile — check on arrival; report breakage within 48 hours for replacement
A Quiet Table
The set makes slowness physical: a pot lifted with both hands, a mountain line repeated around every cup, and enough tea to share without hurry.
