(2) Chinese Qing Dynasty Pewter Tea Pots. Two Chinese Qing dynasty pewter teapots with impressed relief design: larger teapot with scene of Immortals in a boat; smaller teapot with bamboo and impressed verse. Impressed mark on base.
The Chinese tea tradition is a deeply rooted cultural practice that blends artistry, philosophy, and social ritual, dating back thousands of years to the Tang Dynasty and earlier. More than a beverage, tea in China is a symbol of respect, reflection, and hospitality, with distinct regional styles and ceremonies—such as gongfu cha—elevating its preparation to an elegant, meditative process. Whether brewed from delicate green teas, robust pu-erh, fragrant oolongs, or floral blends like jasmine, each type of tea is appreciated for its aroma, taste, and even the shape of its leaves. Chinese teaware, often crafted from porcelain, clay, or glass, complements the experience through form and function. Tea culture is embedded in poetry, philosophy, and everyday life, offering a moment of calm, contemplation, and connection across generations.
