This refined ensemble embodies a minimalist design language, combining traditional tea culture with modernist aesthetics.

The set includes a ceramic teapot with a sculptural arched metal handle and four matching cups, all finished in a matte charcoal glaze. The clean lines and understated forms create a calm, balanced composition characteristic of Asian design principles. The set is completed by its original olive-green lacquered tray with an elegant geometric shape, providing both functional use and visual contrast.

This piece functions equally as a decorative object and a usable tea service, ideal for collectors of Asian design, minimalist interiors, or wabi-sabi inspired spaces.
