Imperial Yellow Blue-and-White Tea Set

Once reserved for the imperial kilns — a yellow ground was among the hardest colors to fire evenly, and for centuries it belonged to the emperor alone. This tea set pairs that luminous yellow with hand-painted underglaze-blue peonies, brushed petal by petal in Jingdezhen.

The set includes a teapot, lidded gaiwan, fairness pitcher and tasting cups — everything for a slow gongfu tea ritual, or a striking shelf display.

• Handmade porcelain from Jingdezhen, China
• Hand-painted underglaze blue on a yellow ground
• Lead-free, food-safe glaze
• Hand wash recommended
