A jug is a key part of a Chinese Tea Set: the tradition within Chinese culture is to pour from the Brew Pot, where the tea leaves have been left to steep, into a small jug where the beautiful colour of the tea can be seen with greater clarity before being poured into tiny cups.

The tactile teardrop shape has been made with exaggerated twisting throwing lines around its circumference. The elements that make up the Chinese Tea Set can be bought separately and used to perform any function our customers would prefer.

As with all items in the entire range, this handle-less jug is hand-thrown on the wheel by Jo Davies and finished individually. Glazed with tactile, satin-matt stoneware crackle glaze in white, or a satin-matt manganese glaze in black.

The Chinese Tea Set is a response to the wonderfully diverse tea sets Jo Davies encountered while taking tea on a 2018 trip to Jingdezhen - the home of Chinese porcelain. The Set reflects both the Western and Eastern traditions and rituals of tea drinking, bringing together divergent ideas of form and function in a set that unmistakably carries the unique Jo Davies aesthetic. Created to celebrate the eclectic and traditional tea sets used in daily life in China, you are invited to choose matching or complementary coloured elements in creating your own set.
