Rabbit Yixing Tea Set: Zhu Purple Clay Teapot and Cup (150ml)

Bring a sense of quiet ceremony to your table with this refined Yixing tea set, made from premium zhu ni clay and created under the direction of master artisan Jiang Yun. The collection includes a 150ml Xishi teapot and a 60ml cup, both enriched with a charming rabbit-and-cherry-blossom scene that is built up by hand with different Yixing clay pastes.

The Xishi teapot is where the maker’s craftsmanship becomes most visible. Its clay-painted surfaces are layered with fine detail, giving the artwork depth and movement, while the beaded chain on the knob lends a polished finishing note that keeps the design graceful and well balanced.

Packaged in an elegant gift box and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this tea set is ready for presentation straight away. It suits experienced tea drinkers, design-minded collectors, and anyone searching for a memorable gift that feels thoughtful, refined, and substantial.

Zhu ni clay is admired for its compact, silky feel and its warm red body, touched with a soft orange glow. Thanks to its double porous structure, the clay breathes well, helping the tea open more fully and lending each brew a smoother, more rounded character.

For day-to-day use, the compact proportions make this set especially pleasant for focused brewing sessions and mindful tasting. Warming the teapot first can help the clay respond beautifully, while shorter repeated infusions allow the fragrance and texture of the tea to unfold gradually.

The decorative knob reflects a design language that first appeared during the Qing dynasty, bringing a classical note to the overall composition. Green and white beading, paired with the metallic cherry blossom accent, creates a lively contrast that echoes the painted decoration without overwhelming it.

The rabbit carries auspicious meaning in Chinese culture. As one of the twelve zodiac animals, it represents gentleness, resourcefulness, sensitivity, and a harmonious family life, which makes this tea set a meaningful gift as well as a striking piece for a teaware collection.
