Design & Craftsmanship

This 150ml teapot features a blossom-shaped base and delicate, hand-painted blue and white floral and butterfly motifs. Perfect for intimate tea sessions, its design symbolizes freedom, purity, and prosperity—offering a beautiful blessing for a joyful and elegant life.

This set includes a matching Bai Duanni cup, which features similar painted motifs and an elegant segmented form, often adorned with a unique decorative glitter foot ring (as seen in variations, e.g., images 7-9).

White Duanni (Bai Duanni) is a rare Yixing Zisha clay prized for its elegant ivory, off-white, or cool pale-gray appearance. This distinctive coloration stems from the raw ore's exceptionally low iron and high aluminum content. When fired at high temperatures (over 1180°C) in an oxidizing atmosphere, trace amounts of residual iron aggregate to create beautiful, naturally occurring speckles across its light, unglazed surface.

Boasting outstanding breathability, it perfectly softens astringent teas. Ideal for delicate white, green, and light oolongs, White Duanni demands meticulous care but rewards dedicated use with a stunning, jade-like patina.
