QIU Atelier Light Chasing Series Kung Fu Tea Set
QIU Atelier Light Chasing Series Kung Fu Tea Set
A porcelain Kung Fu tea set composed of one Gài Wǎn and two cups.
Made through oxidation firing, the porcelain develops a soft, glowing surface with a jade-like finish and a smooth, refined touch. The flowing forms of the Gài Wǎn and cups are designed to sit comfortably in the hand, bringing a quiet ease to daily tea rituals.
The glaze contains natural iron elements. After being fired at over 1200°C, these minerals condense into black iron speckles across the surface, forming unique patterns that belong to each individual piece. In this way, the material’s natural composition becomes part of the object’s everyday character.
The 110ml Gài Wǎn is suitable for Kung Fu tea preparation, and can also be used as a small coffee cup.

Handmade Disclaimer
Each piece is made entirely by hand without the use of moulds. Slight variations in shape, size and proportion are therefore expected, making every piece unique. Small traces of the making process—including white or dark specks of approximately 1 mm and subtle lines formed as the glass is folded—may also occur. These characteristics are inherent to handmade glass and are not considered defects.
Vintage pieces may show signs of age and previous use, including minor scratches, marks and other imperfections. These characteristics are part of their history and are not considered defects; returns or exchanges will not be accepted on this basis. All these marks will show in photographs. Please review all photographs carefully before purchasing.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
The glaze has developed unique crackles during firing. We recommend avoiding use with dark-coloured sauces or deeply pigmented fruit juices, as these may stain the surface.
Please hand wash only. Do not place in the dishwasher.
Shipping & Handling
While unlikely, if your box arrives punctured, crushed or damaged, take a picture of it prior to opening. If a piece is damaged during shipping, please notify us at romuobjects@gmail.com within 2 days of receiving the product, along with a photo of the damage.
