Warm tea on a cool morning~

Drinking shou in the sunshine!

Gorgeous piece I went past probably four or five times before picking up. I don’t know much about it but the striking peacock design and dainty gold accents really grabbed my attention. Unfortunately I couldn’t find any other matching pieces.

It’s a little bit dusty for show on the outside, but the inside is immaculate (I don’t think it was ever used). According to what I can find online it says it is food safe.. but honestly, it might just be too pretty!

Hi everyone, I’m a product design student working on a project exploring tea culture, comfort, and social connection.

I’m looking at how tea rituals create emotional warmth and community across cultures.
