Authentic Jingdezhen Hand-Painted Soda-Fired Snow Orchid Ceramic Tea Strainer Set
Authentic Jingdezhen Hand-Painted Soda-Fired Snow Orchid Ceramic Tea Strainer Set
The ClayZenith Jingdezhen Soda-Fired Snow Orchid Ceramic Tea Strainer Set combines atmospheric vapor glazing (Sudashao) with freehand cobalt blue snow orchid brushwork (Xuelan). Comprising an upper ceramic filter bowl fitted with ultra-fine food-grade stainless steel mesh and a matching pedestal resting base, this 2-piece accessory ensures pristine, leaf-free tea decanting.
Atmospheric Soda Firing & Fine Filtration
Fired at 1,280°C (2,336°F), sodium carbonate introduced into the kiln vaporizes, reacting with silica in the clay to form a rich, orange-peel tactile glaze with subtle natural flashings. The internal 304 stainless steel micro-mesh strains broken leaf particles seamlessly while the ceramic base catches residual liquid drips.
Living Space Integration & Gifting
- Clean Tea Table Architecture: Prevents tabletop water pooling by providing a dedicated resting stand for the wet strainer.
- Artisanal Display: Organic soda-ash glaze and delicate orchid brushwork complement both porcelain and stoneware tea setups.
- Thoughtful Connoisseur Gifting: An indispensable, elegant accessory gift for any whole-leaf tea practitioner.

The Orchid (Lan) symbolizes Noble Integrity, Refined Virtue, and Peaceful Friendship. Combined with the grounding Earth Element of Soda-Fired Stoneware, this accessory fosters smooth, clear communication and orderly harmony on the tea table.
