Velvet Rose Elemental Gongdao Bei Tea Pitcher 120ml

The Velvet Rose Elemental Gongdao Bei Tea Pitcher 120ml is a handcrafted porcelain fairness cup finished in a deep, saturated Yaobian glaze. Rich, unapologetic, and radiant, it pairs commanding visual beauty with precise, equal pouring — and coordinates seamlessly with the Velvet Rose Solo Gaiwan and teacups to compose a unified gongfu tea station.

The Glaze: Velvet Rose in Full Bloom

The Velvet Rose glaze is born from Yaobian kiln transformation — a process that cannot be fully controlled or replicated, where the full intensity of heat draws out a bold, luminous colour layered in rich rose and warm blush tones that glow like the last light of a summer afternoon. It shifts subtly under changing light, so each pitcher reveals new depth through the day, and no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Curator's Note: The same kiln firing also produced a sister variation — Frosted Rose — where delicate icy-white halos mingle with pale pink for a quieter, more ethereal effect. Explore both variations in our Elemental Collection.

The Perfect Equalizer

In gongfu tea practice, the Gongdao Bei — or fairness cup — unifies the tea liquor before serving. Decant the brew into the pitcher, then distribute it into each cup, so every guest receives the exact same balance of aroma, strength, color, and flavor. No first pour, no last pour — only equality at the table.

This 120ml pitcher is built for precise, confident pouring: a refined, lightweight porcelain body and a carefully shaped spout deliver a smooth, controlled pour without hesitation or dripping.

Fine Jingdezhen Porcelain

Rooted in the thousand-year Jingdezhen kiln tradition, each Velvet Rose Gongdao Bei is hand-finished by skilled potters in small batches. The high-fired porcelain body is non-porous, flavor-neutral, and offers excellent heat retention — letting the true character of each tea unfold clearly across multiple infusions.
