Tea sets

When each piece is unique: tea sets for tea ceremonies from KERRA

Why did I even make a tea set for a tea ceremony?

The tea set for Chinese tea and KERRA is a very long story that dates back to the very beginning of the brand and the creation of the family Kyiv ceramic atelier of the same name. Handmade ceramics for me personally began with Chinese tea, because at that time I had my own tea shop. And of course, first of all, ceramic teaware was the starting point in my ceramic journey, which continues to this day. You can read more about my first batch of bowls in the article on our blog, and it was on this batch that I got acquainted with my favorite glaze, called “Aventurine”. It is with it that the tea set for tea ceremonies “Dragon’s Treasure” is covered. High-quality, convenient dishes for Chinese tea were from the very beginning the delicious result that I wanted to achieve as one of the first in creating ceramics. The first dishes for the Chinese tea ceremony were the tea sets “Dragon’s Treasure” and “Elf Cha”.

Handmade tea set and its main features

The main feature of a handmade tea set is that each copy is special. All our sets are made entirely by hand, which means that we molded them ourselves, textured them, polished them, and designed them too, what can I say here. Therefore, each tea set will differ from the second copy of the same model. And this is influenced not only by the mood during molding. Imagine that there are different dishes for the Chinese tea ceremony in one oven. One gaiwan is closer to the spirals, which heat up to 1100 degrees, and the other is in the center, further from all the spirals. As a result, we will get a redder lava teapot from LAVA TEA SET, this is the one that stood closer to the spiral. And the second will be more orange, because it stood further away. Both will look incredible, but the difference will be traced in the color pattern. Even without this factor, because we glaze everything with a brush by hand, all our tea ceremony dishes: gaiwan, teapot, chahai, chahe and bowls will have a unique glaze opening and a unique color. Each product has a unique palette. This is the main feature.

How convenient is it to use your tea sets for the ceremony?

First of all, our tea set for Chinese tea was created to be even more convenient than ordinary Chinese counterparts. Because, as a rule, an ordinary gaiwan has a round shape, and we added a spout to our teapots for convenient pouring. And in general, in addition to aesthetics, we have something to be proud of, because all our tea ceremony sets have:

  • ergonomic shape, so that it is convenient to hold and pour when brewing
  • thin walls, so as not to burn your fingers
  • built-in filter in the gaiwan to filter the leaves

all our teaware is durable and molded from high-quality materials (Ukrainian clay, which is the best in Europe in my opinion + German effect glazes, which are the best in my opinion)

So, our tea bowls and teapots are very practical, that’s true, but it is also pleasant for the hands to use and the eye will admire them every day.

Why our Chinese tea set?

Because our teaware evokes emotions, as if alive, it contacts you not only at eye level, but also tactilely, because our handmade ceramics usually have a texture and give unforgettable sensations to the fingers. Just hold any of our bowls in your hand and you will feel it. These tea sets have a soul, they have a history, they are endlessly pleasing to the eye and our customers regularly remind me of this.
