Mutton Fat Jade Porcelain Tea Set with Calligraphy

Such an elegant set!

I’m so glad I purchased the set (and basically got the strainer for free). The strainer works well and is a beautiful addition to my table- I like the calm vibe of matching pieces. This is beautiful teaware. I agree with other reviews that liken it to bone, as it has the hand feel of fine bone china. I do find the gaiwan too hot to hold if I overfill it making pu erh, so I use it mostly for greens & whites. The lid fits well and it and the fairness cup both pour smoothly without dripping. I love how the translucence of this set contributes to the elegance (see photo of my silver needle white peeking through the lid of the gaiwan). My only disappointment (and it is minor), is that as a lefty, I had to teach myself to pour with my right hand, otherwise I don’t get to see the engraving on the gong dao bei. But it’s not the first time I’ve had to adapt in this right-handed world! :)

This set is incredibly light weight, the porcelain does not heat where the water isn't so your fingers are safe and its a bit translucent. absolutely gorgeous. Personally, it feels a bit like its made of bone, its a really awesome texture. And the inscription is a perfect reminder for every day tea drinking.
