Dehua county is a town in Fujian province along China's southeast coast and is very famous for the high quality white porcelains, 'Blanc de Chine', or 'white from China', is the name given to white porcelains made in Dehua. The color of the porcelain is more like ‘ivory white’ and ‘milk white’ due to the very small amount of iron oxide in the local kaolin clay.
This travel tea set was handmade with the high quality natural Kaolin clay in Dehua county, then proceeded in the firing process at the temperature up to 1380 degrees to maximize the strength of the porcelain. High-fire porcelain make the travel tea set lasts a long time without losing its functional qualities and its glow.
This beautiful portable Gongfu tea set are really well-designed, compact and aesthetically pleasing set, it includes 1 hand-grab teapot and 2 small Gongfu tea cups in a travel case. The detailed size information for this travel tea set is as following:
1pc Teapot: 3.7oz or 110ml
1pc larger Tea Cup: 2.37oz or 70ml
1pc smaller Tea Cup: 1.35oz or 40ml
Love this little teapot. Much easier to pour without spilling than a gaiwan. Still very easy to clean which was my biggest concern. I'll be devastated if I drop it.
