Tea-for-one: Quail Egg

Zhang is not an artist. He is a craftsman. His team of people have hands that can turn a lump of clay into pots and cups with precision and in no time, almost like magic. They make tea vessels for us for practical use, in understated design. Coming from a humble tea tradition, that is only natural for them. They are from Chaozhou, where gongfu tea is more normal than cola.

“Quail Egg” Tea-for-one is light yet sturdy and strong. The matt glaze finish matches with the non-glazed cup rim and pot bottom to complete both the visual and tactile rustic theme of the design. Comes with cushioned wooden box for travelling or as a gift.
