Silver-Inlaid Blue & White Mutton-Fat Jade Porcelain Xishi Teapot Set | Premium Kung Fu Tea Gift Box

This high-end tea set is a masterclass in textural contrast, combining the matte, stone-like feel of Su Shao (Su-fired) porcelain with the luxurious "Mutton-Fat Jade" glaze and hand-applied Gilded Silver (Liu Yin) accents. Featuring the classic, rounded "Xishi" silhouette, this set is designed for those who appreciate the intersection of ancient ceramic arts and modern luxury.

Product Specifications

• Teapot Style: Xishi Hu – Named after one of the Four Beauties of ancient China, this legendary shape is prized for its full, rounded body, short spout, and seamless pour.

• Set Composition: 1 Teapot & 2 Matching Teacups – An intimate configuration perfect for personal use or sharing tea with a close companion.

• Material & Finish:

  • Su Shao Porcelain: A high-temperature "plain firing" technique that results in a refined, matte surface.

  • Mutton-Fat Jade Glaze: The interior and select parts feature a translucent, oily-rich glaze that mimics the texture of premium Hetian jade.

  • Blue & White Motif: Classic cobalt-blue patterns, often featuring traditional landscape or floral themes.

  • Gilded Silver Inlay: Real silver is applied to the rims or patterns, creating a brilliant contrast against the white porcelain.

• Packaging: Boutique Gift Box – Secured in a shockproof, silk-lined presentation box.

Key Features and Craftsmanship

• The "Jade" Experience: The internal "Mutton-Fat" glaze is non-porous and exceptionally smooth. It does not absorb odors, making it suitable for alternating between different tea types (Green, Oolong, or Pu-erh) without flavor carryover.

• Silver-Inlaid Accents: The Liu Yin technique adds a layer of metallic prestige. Over time, the silver may develop a subtle vintage patina, or it can be polished to maintain its brilliant shine.

• Ergonomic Xishi Design: The teapot features a built-in ball filter at the spout base, ensuring a smooth, leaf-free pour. The rounded body allows tea leaves (especially rolled Oolongs) enough space to fully unfurl and release their peak aroma.

• Tactile Contrast: The "Su Shao" exterior provides a slip-resistant, earthy grip, while the "Jade" interior offers a pristine, hygienic surface for the tea liquor.

Ideal Use Cases

• Home Sanctuary: A centerpiece for your study or tea table, offering a meditative brewing experience.

• Executive Gifting: An impressive choice for business partners, elders, or tea enthusiasts who value rare craftsmanship and traditional aesthetics.

• Gongfu Tea Practice: Sized specifically for the "Kung Fu" style of brewing, focusing on high leaf-to-water ratios and multiple short infusions.

Maintenance and Care

• Hand Wash Only: Use warm water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive sponges or dishwashers, which can damage the delicate silver inlay and the matte porcelain finish.

• Silver Care: If the silver accents darken due to natural oxidation, gently rub them with a dedicated silver polishing cloth to restore the luster.

• Internal Rinsing: Always rinse with hot water immediately after use to prevent tea stains from setting into the jade-like glaze.
