Timeless Charm
This carefully curated set includes a small Gaiwan and four delicate teacups, each sourced from antique markets in 2020. Adorned with intricate patterns, these pieces capture the nostalgic essence of 1970s Chaozhou, bringing a vintage touch to your tea rituals. Slight imperfections tell a story of time, adding character and authenticity to each cup.
The glow of decades. Unlike the sharp brilliance of modern porcelain, these 1970s pieces possess a 'living' luster—a softness earned through fifty years of history.
Experience Gongfu tea like a true connoisseur. Every piece connects you to the rich heritage of Chaozhou tea culture.
