Tea Ceramics

Tea ceramics are specially crafted pottery and porcelain items used for preparing, serving, and drinking tea. They include teapots, cups, gaiwans, and other vessels, often designed to enhance the tea-drinking experience through aesthetic appeal and functional features like heat retention and flavor preservation. Originating from various cultures such as Chinese, Japanese, and Western traditions, tea ceramics can range from simple everyday ware to intricate, artistically decorated pieces. They play a crucial role in tea rituals and ceremonies, emphasizing craftsmanship, material quality, and the cultural significance associated with tea presentation and appreciation.
