Experience the Artistry of Ancient China

Inspired by the legendary Dunhuang and China’s age-old traditions, this handcrafted tea set offers a unique way to savor tea while appreciating centuries of artistry. Featuring vibrant red and blue tones on fine white porcelain, the surface designs include dragon motifs extracted from ancient relics using the traditional ‘拓片’ technique — a process that transfers intricate symbols from historical artifacts directly onto the porcelain. Whether for personal enjoyment or as a thoughtful gift, this exquisite set bridges antiquity and modernity in a meaningful way.

Additionally, the elegant tea cup completes the set, measuring 10 cm in diameter, standing 4 cm tall, and holding approximately 85 ml. With every detail thoughtfully designed, this timeless tea set becomes a delightful centerpiece to admire and cherish for years.
