High-End Scroll-Leaf Lotus Tea Pot Set

Product details

1. Origin: The Cradle of Celadon

• Crafted in Longquan, Zhejiang – A legendary kiln site celebrated for “Ge Yao” celadon since the Southern Song Dynasty (1127–1279), renowned for its “jade-like” glaze and crackle patterns.
• Material: Made from iron-rich clay and fired at 1,300°C, achieving a unique “peacock blue” celadon hue that deepens with use.
• Lotus Motif: Hand-carved with scroll-leaf and lotus designs, symbolizing purity (Buddhism) and scholarly elegance (Confucianism).

2. Lineage: From Imperial Kilns to Modern Collectibles

• Song Dynasty: Longquan celadon was tributed to emperors, with lotus motifs adorning royal tea ware.
• 18th Century: Export to Europe inspired “Celadon” as a term for green-glazed ceramics.
• Contemporary Revival: Master artisan Li Xuefeng (3rd-gen kiln heir) reinterprets classical forms with ergonomic precision for modern tea brewing.

3. Cultural Essence: The Poetry of Tea

① Zen in Form

• The lotus, untainted by mud, mirrors the tea drinker’s pursuit of clarity.
• Weightless balance: The pot’s 45° angled spout ensures a silent, laminar pour—a meditative act.

② Scholar’s Aesthetic

• Scroll-leaf carvings echo classical ink paintings, a nod to literati who paired tea with poetry.
• “Hidden” craftsmanship: Glaze thickness varies to create “ice flake” crackles, revealing artistry over time.

③ Heirloom Value

• Each piece bears the kiln’s seal and artisan’s chop mark, ensuring authenticity.
• Patina development: The glaze evolves with use, akin to Japanese kintsugi philosophy.
