How fragile is the dragon?

The fins and whiskers are the most delicate parts. The set ships double-boxed with moulded padding, and anything that arrives broken is refunded in full.

Will my cups match the photos?

The shape will, the starburst won't — flambe glaze fires differently every time, so each cup's interior is one of a kind.

How many people does it serve?

With eight cups it is made for gatherings — a full table can drink from one brewing.

Specifications

Material: Flambe-glazed ceramic
Form: Semi-automatic pour design
Capacity / Set: Tea centerpiece with 8 cups
Category: Teaware
Origin: Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, China

Material & craft

Flambe (kiln-change) glaze is unstable by design: copper and cobalt move in the fire, so the burst pattern inside each cup is unrepeatable. The dragon wears the same midnight palette, its scales picked out where the glaze pools.

Why we selected it

The dragon body is slip-cast and hand-finished before glazing — mould seams are cleaned by hand and the head is attached separately. Tea steeps in the upper chamber and releases into the pitcher below.

Unreal glaze. The flambe glaze on this set is stunning — deep cobalt with these fiery streaks that no photo fully captures. Pours cleanly and the cups feel great in the hand. Makes my afternoon tea feel a little ceremonial.

Perfect for travel. The carry case is firm and everything slots into place so nothing rattles around. Took it on a weekend trip and did a full gongfu session in the hotel room. Small but totally functional — exactly what I wanted.

The rice-grain effect is magic. The linglong (rice-grain) windows are even cooler in real life — hold it up to the light and those tiny translucent dots just glow. Holds a proper amount of tea and the lid keeps it warm. This is officially my new desk mug.
