Double-Layer Copper and Celadon Tea Cup Coaster with Engraved Motif

Description

The Perfection of Materials: Copper & Celadon Tea Cup Coaster

Bringing together two of China’s most revered artistic traditions, this double-layer tea cup coaster combines hand-hammered copper with prized Luqing celadon. Designed as an essential accessory for any Gongfu Chinese tea set, it elevates the teacup while protecting delicate wooden or bamboo tea tables from heat and moisture.

Luqing Celadon: A Thousand-Year Jade-Like Glaze

At the heart of this coaster rests a smooth Luqing celadon ceramic insert. Originating in the Song Dynasty and revived in Zibo, Shandong, Luqing celadon is fired at temperatures exceeding 1,300°C in a reduction atmosphere. Known for its translucent, jade-like glaze — praised as “green as jade, bright as a mirror, and clear as a bell” — the soft porcelain insert provides a gentle resting place for your teacup while shielding the copper base.

Intangible Cultural Heritage: Wei County Copper Base

Framing the celadon is a hand-hammered copper base forged using Weifang’s intangible cultural heritage techniques. Artisans shape a single piece of high-purity red copper through tens of thousands of precise strikes (one-sheet forging). The base is finished with hand-engraved traditional motifs and a protective antique patina that ages gracefully over time.

Double-Layer Thermal Protection

The two-tier construction creates an insulating air gap beneath the hot teacup and celadon insert. This structural design effectively blocks heat transfer to your tea table, combining functional heat insulation with a raised, light aesthetic.

• Dual Heritage Craftsmanship: Combines Weifang hammered copper with thousand-year Luqing celadon
