The set comprises a Xishi teapot, matching tea pitcher and four teacups, each decorated with peonies, curling foliage and intricate ornamental scrollwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Xishi teapot (西施壺) is recognised by its softly rounded body, short spout and arched handle. Its balanced proportions create a compact, composed silhouette, while gilded accents on the spout, handle and lid finial introduce a restrained metallic lustre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration is finished using silver-wire enamelling (掐絲銀琺瑯彩). Fine metal wire is carefully bent to define the peony petals, stems and scrolling contours before coloured enamel is applied within the design. The precision of the wirework gives the floral composition greater definition and a subtly raised, tactile character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeonies in coral red and layered blue unfold against the softly luminous porcelain, accompanied by pale blue foliage and fine ornamental lines. In Chinese decorative arts, the peony represents prosperity, honour and a flourishing life. Delicate tone-on-tone patterns fill the surrounding surface, adding depth without overwhelming the principal floral decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the teapot spout is an integrated hemispherical multi-hole ceramic filter. The closely distributed openings help retain loose tea leaves while allowing the tea liquor to flow cleanly into the matching pitcher. With a capacity of approximately 250 ml, the teapot is suited to focused Gongfu brewing and serving across the four included 50 ml teacups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in a fitted gift box, Flourishing Peony combines the rounded elegance of the Xishi teapot form with detailed enamel work and a complete arrangement for brewing, decanting and sharing tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Origin: Made in \u003cstrong\u003eDehua\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Product:\u003cbr\u003e1 × Ceramic Xishi Teapot\u003cbr\u003e1 × Ceramic Tea Pitcher\u003cbr\u003e4 × Ceramic Teacups\u003cbr\u003e1 × Presentation Gift Box\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted in Dehua\u003c\/strong\u003e with traditional ceramic-making methods, each with a unique design and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dehua","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67676718334104,"sku":null,"price":335.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/1425\/9096\/files\/1_fb082053-2f08-4062-8a46-160ba5c5ca72.jpg?v=1791569372","url":"https:\/\/fungtea.com\/products\/flourishing-peony-handcrafted-silver-wire-enamelled-ceramic-xishi-tea-set","provider":"Fung Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
