Porcelain Clad in Silver Tea Set

Angebot$180.00

An ancient art, redefined. This tea set unites the timeless purity of porcelain with the radiant nobility of pure silver, through a masterful technique known as “porcelain clad in silver.” Using solid 999 silver blocks and plates, the silver is cast, melted at high temperatures, and repeatedly calcined until it achieves a seamless, molecular fusion with the porcelain body. More than a decorative overlay, this fusion allows the silver to gently interact with water, subtly purifying it and enhancing the clarity and sweetness of your tea with every brew.

Thoughtfully designed for both beauty and care, the set includes a dual-sided silver polishing stick—green for gently removing light scratches, white for restoring brilliant luster—ensuring your heirloom remains pristine across generations. Every element, from the ergonomic curve of the pot to the fit of each lid, has been meticulously considered and crafted, resulting in a collection that is as functional as it is visually arresting.

Design

Crafting Of Edo Kiriko

The artist marks simple grid lines on the glass without drawing a design to provide the plan's framework. The design grid is drawn on the glass's surface using a bamboo stick or brush with red iron oxide. Next, the baselines of the design are lightly etched using a whetstone. Relying on these fine marks and lines, the delicate patterns of Edo kiriko are created with the artisan's expertise and skills.

First Cut

The base design is cut to about three-quarters of the final width and depth. The surface of the glass is cut using a sand paste-coated metal disc rotating at high speed. Generally, emery powder with many abrasive particles is used to create the sand paste. The clear pattern border lines and the irregular patterns are cut little by little. The balance between the thickness and depth of the cut lines relies upon the artisan's years of experience, as there are no detailed sketches.

Adjustments

The patterns cut in the second stage are adjusted, and the surface is smoothly polished in this process. A whetstone disc, natural or artificial, is used to cut delicate patterns which cannot be created with the metal disc used in the prior process. This is the last cutting stage to complete the designs, so careful work is required not to leave any powder residue and to ensure a brilliant finish.

Polishing

This is the final stage of production, and it is usually carried out on soda-lime glass (most prevalent type of glass). The opaque surface left by the third stage is returned once more to its original transparent state, with the attractive shine and sparkle typical of Edo kiriko. Chemical processing with hydrofluoric acid is also applied for high-class crystal glass. Depending on the piece, a variety of different polishing discs are used, such as paulownia wood discs, willow wood discs, hair brush discs, and belt discs. The final work is polished by applying water and polishing powders to obtain a glittering finish, while fine sections are polished with a cloth or a brush. To complete the final polishing, a cloth buffing disc is used to bring out the sparkle and shine of the cut glass.
