70ml Ming Dynasty Orchid Tea Cup teatray These cakes spent a few

These cakes spent a few years in Hong Kong natural storage and then were bought by a Malaysian tea merchant and have been stored there since

These are completely handmade using the same clay and glaze as our FangXia teacups to produce teaware that is as close as possible to the materials used in the antique porcelain items we know and love

The later infusions have a touch of astringency

with anonymous potters often signing pots with his name as a homage

but we've managed to get a little more from a different picking of the same trees
