Scholar's Study Treasures
Celadon Travel Tea Set, 1 Pot 3 Cups with Portable Case
$69.00
One pot, three cups, one case — a complete gongfu set small enough to travel. The pot is thrown with a single side handle so it pours one-handed, and the cups nest inside it. Pale celadon glaze, a quiet blue motif, and a fine crackle that deepens with every pour.

A Tea Set That Travels
Most gongfu sets stay on a table. This one is built to leave it — a single-handled pot, three cups that stack inside the body, and a case that slips into a tote. Pour with one hand, pack in under a minute, and have proper tea in a hotel room, an office, or a courtyard you did not plan to stay in.
The glaze is pale celadon; the motif is painted in quiet blue. Neither is loud. Both reward a second look — which is the whole point.

Material, Form & Craft
Material. Porcelain body with a celadon glaze, finished with a hand-painted blue motif. The crackle in the glaze is part of the finish, not a flaw — it continues to develop with use.
Form. The side handle sits where a thumb naturally falls, so the pot balances in one hand and pours without a second grip. The cups are sized for tasting rather than drinking: small enough to keep the tea hot, wide enough to smell it.
Craft. The spout is cut and shaped by hand, then tested for a clean pour. Cup rims are smoothed so they meet the lip without a seam.

How to Brew
Warm the pot and cups with hot water, then discard.
Add 5g of leaf — roughly one thin layer across the bottom.
Pour water at 95 °C, just off the boil for oolong, fully boiled for puerh and black tea.
Steep 10–15 seconds for the first infusion, adding a few seconds each round. The same leaves will give five to seven pours.
Pour to the last drop each time — tea left standing in the pot keeps extracting.
Care
Hand wash with warm water and a soft cloth. Do not use dishwashers, microwaves, or detergent on the crackle glaze — it will hold the smell. Let it dry fully, open, before closing the case. Avoid moving it straight from cold to boiling water; warm it gradually and the glaze will last for years.
A Note on Natural Variation
Celadon is fired, not printed. Glaze depth, crackle pattern, and the tone of the blue will vary slightly from set to set — and a little more each year you use it. If you want a piece that looks exactly like the photo forever, this is not that piece. If you want one that records how often you made tea, it is.
