Cultural Heritage:
Blue and white porcelain represents one of China’s most significant contributions to world art and culture. This style, perfected during the Ming Dynasty, has been treasured globally for over 600 years. The cobalt blue pigment, applied by hand before glazing, creates the distinctive deep blue color that has become synonymous with Chinese ceramics. The peony, known as the “king of flowers” in Chinese culture, represents wealth, honor, and beautiful romance.
Artistic Technique:
This teapot showcases the traditional underglaze blue technique, where artisans hand-paint designs with cobalt oxide onto the unfired porcelain body. After painting, the piece is glazed and fired at high temperatures, permanently sealing the artwork beneath a glossy, translucent surface. This ancient technique ensures the design will never fade or wear away.
Care Instructions:
Hand wash gently with mild soap and warm water. Avoid harsh scrubbing on the painted surface. Do not place in dishwasher or microwave. Keep the woven handle dry when possible to maintain its integrity. Store carefully to protect the decorative finish. This is a delicate piece of art that requires gentle handling.
Bring the elegance of imperial China into your home with this stunning blue and white teapot. A timeless treasure that honors centuries of ceramic artistry while serving your daily tea ritual with grace and beauty.
