Among the numerous tea utensils on the tea mat, only silver pots and silver cups can shine in harmony with the moonlight. It’s as if one has plucked the bright moon from the sky, allowing the gentle moonlight and poetry to fall into the tea cup, to be sipped and savored in the heart. Scholars and poets all love silver pots. They are born noble, clean, simple and elegant, giving people a sense of comfort and ease.
Tea lovers, however, have long discovered the wonderful feature that silver pots do not damage the aroma of tea. The pure and gentle silver pot can boil water that is “as smooth as silk”, and when used for making tea, it can remove turbidity and enhance clarity, making the tea soft like silk. Hence the saying: “For boiling water, a silver pot is precious; for making tea, a silver pot is esteemed.” No wonder, after comparing countless tea utensils, Lu Yu finally regarded the silver pot as “the purest”, treating it as the “white moonlight” in his heart. In the past, silver pots were exclusive to the nobility. Even today, although silver pots are still popular in the market, many people who love them are deterred by the high prices. Then a friend who specializes in collecting silver pots recommended a silver pot suitable for daily use to Yun Shangjun. I was immediately impressed by it at the first sight. The body of the pot is as simple and elegant as the moon, as white as frost. It’s truly extremely beautiful! Just as the poem says: “Its color resembles that of the long river, and its light shimmers like the full moon.” It is said that every tea lover should have a hanging handle pot. This pot can be purchased for just over a hundred yuan. It can be regarded as an affordable alternative to pure silver pots and looks quite elegant when placed on the tea mat. This friend of Yun Shangjun has dozens of precious silver pots in his collection at home, but he only loves to use this one in his daily life. It is the Hammered and Gilded Ancient Technique Porcelain-body Hanging Handle Pot created by the utensil brand – Shiwu Guanxin. The ancient gilding technique covers 999 fine silver on the Dehua porcelain pot, just like a gentle and refined gentleman. Once you hold it in your hand, you will feel its spirituality. The hammered pattern, with its half-light and half-shadow, has a bright, lively yet restrained luster, just like the bright moon at night. Such a pure-as-snow and extremely elegant hanging handle pot has become the “white moonlight” in the hearts of every tea lover. In addition, Yun Shangjun also brings the Hammered and Gilded Ancient Technique Porcelain-body Arhat Cup, which can be used together with the hanging handle pot. Invite two or three close friends to raise their cups and enjoy the moon, full of poetry. In the market, a pot with such a gilding technique usually costs at least several hundred yuan. Yun Shangjun has specially negotiated a new arrival price for tea lovers – you can get a single pot for 128 yuan, and a set of one pot and two cups for 168 yuan.

The silver pot in front of you, although indistinguishable from traditional hand-hammered silver pots, combines the beauty of silverware and porcelain.Upon observation, it gleams like a silver pot; upon striking, it resonates like fine porcelain. Crafted with porcelain as its core and silver as its essence, the techniques and craftsmanship are more intricate than ordinary porcelain.
On Dehua clay, a hammering technique is applied. For those who appreciate porcelain, Dehua is an indispensable name. Dehua white porcelain can create a myriad of shapes, yet it is rare to see such a silver pot-like hammering pattern. The hammering pattern, originating from the hammering techniques of Tang Dynasty gold and silver wares and Buddhist statues, was renamed after being introduced to Japan. In handcrafted silver pots, the hammering pattern is a distinctive feature. However, in this gilded silver ancient method porcelain teapot, the hammering technique begins from the un-fired pot body. Each hammering mark, seemingly random, is the deliberate work of the artisan. “A hand fall is one hammer, four hammers form one pattern,” the connection between hammers is as continuous as a silkworm spinning silk, and as naturally orderly as flowing water and clouds. In this process of hammering, a variety of styles are presented, like the crisscrossing fields and the ripples in a lotus pond stirred by the wind, casual and natural. Made with 999 pure silver gilding technique, the luster is evenly distributed. The gilding technique uses 999 pure silver, which, after a special high-temperature treatment, achieves a near-natural effect, distinct from the silver-plated pots on the market. Before the porcelain pot is polished, pure silver is ground finely and evenly colored, coated three times, and fired three times. After firing, manual polishing and polishing are also needed three times. Each silver pot comes with a certificate from an authoritative institution, ensuring the authenticity of the silver content, providing peace of mind. The complex gilding technique is the key to the outstanding quality of the tea set. From the kiln to the final shape, it seems to have undergone a transformative process. The low-key silver, mysterious yet not overshadowing the inherent beauty of Dehua white porcelain, is elegant and noble. The inner and outer walls of the pot lid are gilded, exuding luxury from within, while the porcelain glaze resembles a simple heart, a combination of beauty and substance. Today’s special price: 89 yuan. With such beautiful scenery, how can a good time be without tea? The silver pot perfectly complements the tea setting as the “white moonlight.” This time, Yun Shang Jun brings a hammered gilded silver ancient method porcelain teapot with a beam handle and a Luohan cup, along with an elegant silver leaf.

Bright but not dazzling, lively but not unrestrained. The pot body that can be held in one hand is flexible and handy to use.
