The Serene Guardian: 1380°C Awakening Lion Tea Ceremony Set, Jingdezhen Porcelain

he Art of Underglaze: Awakening Lion Porcelain Tea Set

Discover the exquisite craftsmanship of traditional Chinese underglaze painting with our Awakening Lion Tea Set. Made in the porcelain capital of Jingdezhen, this 7-piece collection showcases the rare and intricate underglaze technique—where vibrant mineral pigments are hand-painted directly onto the clay before being sealed with a transparent glaze and fired at 1300°C. This makes the designs not only brilliantly colored but also durable, scratch-resistant, and completely food-safe.

Why Underglaze Matters:

• Colors That Last: Unlike surface decorations, underglaze designs are protected beneath the glaze, ensuring they never fade or wear off.

• Safe for Daily Use: The smooth glaze surface prevents bacteria buildup and is easy to clean.

• Artisanal Value: Each piece is individually painted, making every set unique.

Set Includes (7 Pieces):

1. Gaiwan (Covered Bowl) – 9cm diameter × 7.5cm height, 140ml

2. Fairness Cup (Gongdao Bei) – 7.5cm diameter × 9cm height, 200ml

Design & Cultural Significance:

The “Awakening Lion” (醒狮) symbolizes power, courage, and prosperity in Chinese culture. Traditionally performed during festivals to ward off evil and bring good fortune, this motif is brought to life in deep cobalt blues, rich reds, and gold-like accents—all achieved through the underglaze technique.
