Porcelain Journey – Blue & White Chinese Travel Tea Set in Woven Wicker Case

Tucked inside its fitted floral-lined wicker case, this blue and white porcelain tea set evokes a quiet tradition of hospitality on the go. With delicate brushstroke-like floral and geometric motifs, each piece is crafted in the classical Chinese export style — designed for beauty, balance, and portability.

The padded interior cradles a teapot and matching cups, their porcelain surfaces decorated with stylized chrysanthemum and border designs long associated with longevity and peace in Chinese art. The bamboo-style handle and sturdy woven case suggest it may have been intended as a gift or special occasion set, ideal for travel, tea ceremonies, or intimate gatherings.

A lovely blend of function and tradition, this set carries the essence of centuries-old ritual made accessible to the modern collector or host.
