Small travel teapot with painted medallions, blue and white porcelain (mountain motifs)

Travel Tea Set, €55. A small teapot, two cups with painted medallions, the tea ritual, with you everywhere. A small blue and white porcelain teapot and two matching cups, in a travel-friendly size. Enough to prepare real gong fu cha tea, in short, successive infusions, in the office, on the train or during a walk, without compromising on the ritual or the beauty of the object. White porcelain with blue and white floral decoration, hand-painted peonies and chrysanthemums. On the larger cup, a medallion with a landscape painted in mountain colors, red maple, and a pavilion; on the smaller one, a medallion of fruits in orange tones. The edges are outlined with a fine gold rim, and each piece bears a mark on the reverse. Why this small teapot Gong fu cha, in a nomadic format. A small teapot and two cups are enough to prepare tea in short, successive infusions, as is done in China. This set adopts this principle in a minimal footprint, without losing any of the pleasure of the gesture. Two medallions, two hand-painted scenes. Against a backdrop of blue and white flowers, each cup reveals a painted window: a colorful mountain landscape on one, a fruit medallion on the other. The decoration, the calligraphy of the marks, and the highlights are done by hand, piece by piece. No two sets are ever quite identical. A clever pourer. The lid is perforated: it acts as a filter and retains the leaves when the teapot is tilted to serve. No need for a ball or strainer, the action is direct and clean. What the set includes Teapot 1 small porcelain teapot/pourer, perforated filter lid Large cup 1 cup with a painted landscape medallion in color Small cup 1 cup with a painted fruit medallion Cloth 1 tea cloth Decoration Blue and white floral, hand-painted medallions, marks on the reverse, gold rim First use and daily care Before first use. Rinse the teapot and cups with clear water, then scald them once. This is also the gesture that starts each session: a little hot water in the teapot and cups to warm them before infusing. Preparing tea. Place the leaves in the teapot, pour water at the appropriate temperature for the chosen tea, let it infuse for a few moments, then tilt: the perforated lid retains the leaves and the liquor flows into the cups. The small capacity encourages short and repeated infusions, extending a little with each pass. While traveling. Allow each piece to dry thoroughly before storing. The cloth is used to wipe and cushion the porcelain. Handle with care: fine porcelain is sensitive to shocks. Care Wash by hand, in lukewarm water, without aggressive detergent: clear water is usually sufficient and preserves both the porcelain and the painted decoration. Avoid dishwashers, microwaves, and sudden thermal shocks. Dry each piece before storing it. Over time, the porcelain retains the memory of the teas you prepare in it: this is what creates the patina of a beautiful object.
