Jingdezhen Blue & White Underglaze Red Gongfu Tea Set – Pine, Bamboo & Plum | 5-Piece

Jingdezhen Handcrafted Blue & White Underglaze Red Tea Set – Pine, Bamboo & Plum (松竹梅)

In Chinese literati tradition, the Pine, Bamboo, and Plum — known as the “Three Friends of Winter” (岁寒三友) — stand as timeless symbols of resilience, integrity, and quiet beauty. This handcrafted Jingdezhen Blue & White Underglaze Red (青花釉里红) tea set brings that poetic spirit to your tea table. Cobalt blue and copper-red pigments are painted by hand beneath the glaze, then fired at high temperature — a technically demanding process that produces colors of extraordinary depth and permanence.

Each piece is a small canvas: pine needles rendered in vivid red, bamboo and plum blossoms in classic blue, all set against luminous white Jingdezhen porcelain. A set for those who find meaning in the ritual of tea.
