Artistic Craftsmanship & Aesthetic Features

• 3D Relief-Sculpted Peony: Unlike flat patterns. the Purple Rhyme peony is created using a relief-sculpting technique. Each petal is built up layer by layer. giving the flower a realistic. three-dimensional texture that you can feel under your fingertips.

• Hand-Painted Purple Rhyme: After sculpting. the flower is meticulously hand-painted in shades of Imperial Purple. In Chinese culture. purple represents nobility and auspicious energy (Ziqi Donglai). The hand-painted gradients create a vibrant. lifelike depth that mass-produced tea ware cannot replicate.

• Budai (Cloth Bag) Shape: The bowl is designed with a rounded. slightly plump silhouette inspired by the Bag of Fortune (associated with the Laughing Buddha). This shape symbolizes the gathering of wealth and good luck. while also providing a comfortable. substantial grip.

High-End Design & Functionality

• Large Capacity (160ml): The generous Budai shape allows for a larger volume of water and gives tea leaves ample room to circulate and expand. It is the perfect choice for brewing high-mountain Oolongs. aged Pu-erh. or floral teas that require space to release their full bouquet.

• Ergonomic & Anti-Scald: Despite its rounded shape. the rim is elegantly flared. This allows for a secure. heat-safe grip. ensuring that your fingers stay away from the steam during the pour.

• Premium Sancai Structure: The set includes the Lid (Heaven). the rounded Bowl (Man). and a matching Saucer (Earth). representing cosmic harmony. Each piece is crafted from high-grade. high-fired ceramic for durability and a smooth. jade-like finish.
