This delightful porcelain travel tea set has been sculpted into a surprisingly realistic Chinese cabbage. The white veins of the leaves have a ribbed texture, while the light green leaves have a crinkled surface. The perfect stylish brewing companion on the go.
The set includes one easy gaiwan with a strainer built into the lid, three matching teacups, one miniature tea towel that can be wrapped to protect the teacups when stored inside the gaiwan, and one padded carrying case with a snap-on handle.
Since the word cài (菜) for cabbage is similar to the word for wealth (cái, 財), the cabbage is often used as a symbol of prosperity. It’s an old tradition to gift someone a small cabbage carved from jade to wish them a prosperous business. The phrase gong xi fa cai wishes someone good fortune, especially for the new year.
