Design and Symbolism:
This tea set features a teapot adorned with a traditional Chinese dragon pattern inspired by Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain. The dragon, a symbol of power, nobility, and dignity in Chinese culture, also represents good fortune and success. The intricate design harmonizes the dragon with swirling clouds, creating a majestic and dynamic visual effect. The teapot is equipped with a built-in tea leaf filter for convenient use.
Crackle Glaze Technique:
The teapot is crafted using the crackle glaze technique, where natural cracks form in the glaze during firing, resembling the fractures in ice. These cracks, known as “ice cracks,” are not flaws but rather a unique and beautiful feature of the ceramic, adding to its aesthetic appeal. Each piece is one-of-a-kind due to the unpredictable nature of this process.
In Chinese tea culture, there is a tradition associated with these crackle patterns. Over time, as tea is brewed, the tea’s natural compounds seep into the cracks, gradually tinting them. Green tea might create delicate golden lines, while black tea may result in deeper, iron-red veins, enhancing the teapot’s charm with continued use.
