Golden Dusk 茶影 Tea Set – Glow Beneath the Willow Tree
The Golden Dusk 茶影 Tea Set captures the elegance of late afternoon tea beneath the branches of a willow. The name 茶影, meaning “shadow of tea,” reflects the play of light and earth in its golden glaze that deepens to a warm, earthen base — like sunlight melting into shadow. This transition of color embodies the cadence of tea rituals, grounding each moment with warmth and reflection.
The curved teapot and matching cups are inspired by traditional Yixing forms, modernized through a smooth, speckled glaze that invites touch and contemplation. A bamboo tray frames the setting with simplicity, while the ink-painted carrying case — adorned with calligraphy and the silhouette of a willow — completes the scene with charm. Ideal for gifting or for moments of personal stillness, this set brings harmony to the table in both form and feeling.
