Plum blossom, Meihua in Chinese, is China's national flower and has been frequently depicted in Chinese literature and art for centuries. Ancient Chinese intellectuals and poets use the hardy plum blossom, with it's delicate yet persistently subtle fragrance, as a metaphor for themselves, symbolizing perseverance, virtue as well as beauty, purity of life. The most famous poem about this subject is "Meihua" from Wang An Shi of Song dynasty.  

墙角数枝梅,凌寒独自开。遥知不是雪,为有暗香来. 

This set is completely handcrafted using the Kangxi era of Qing dynasty's "ice blossom" painting style, crafted with meticulous detail and aesthetics. A piece of art, simply elegant and stunning! Beautiful to behold and easy to use, this exclusive gaiwan will surely enrich your tea experience, and is a great investment for your tea ware collection. For a nice gongfu tea table setting, it is recommended to have 2-4 matching teacups.
