Know before you buy
This piece is primarily designed as a decorative tea pet rather than a functional brewing vessel. While it is crafted from ceramic, it does not include an infuser and is best used to enhance the aesthetic of your tea ritual.
The crackled glaze is designed to absorb tea oils and pigments during your tea sessions. As you use it, these residues settle into the fine cracks, causing the pattern to darken and become more pronounced, giving each piece a unique, aged appearance.
To maintain the ceramic and the development of the glaze, it is recommended to immerse the piece in water overnight and pour hot tea or water over it during your tea sessions. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting it in the dishwasher.
No, this teapot is not safe for use on a stovetop, in the microwave, or in the dishwasher. It is a handcrafted artistic accessory intended for display and ritual use on your tea table.
This teapot is handcrafted by the renowned artist Huang Ronghua, based in Quanzhou, Fujian. His work on this piece focuses on an artistic interpretation of the powerful warhorses from the Tang Dynasty.
