Chinese Tea Set (8) with Teapot & Dragon Motif

White dragons swirl across navy gloss in a box lined with mint green.

This porcelain tea set with teapot and dragon motif is from China, and dates to the 20th century. A tea set groups a teapot with matching cups so that the table looks unified, and porcelain suits it because the material holds heat and does not absorb flavor. Gift box holding a round teapot, its separate lid and six small cups, all in glossy dark blue with white serpentine dragon decoration. The teapot is shown from above, the open mouth ringed by swirling motifs, set on pale green lining.

Tea for six, plus one very decorative reptile.
