Currently
the tea ceremony is a relatively fashionable kind of hobby. Many cultures consider
tea ceremony as a valuable episode in everyday life. Think of the British ‘5
o'clock tea' depicted in many school books and literature. The Japanese tea ceremony
is famous for everyone. It consists of many rituals that have to be learned by
heart. The custom has been strongly influenced by Zen Buddhism.
In the event
when you just want to have some tea with your friends or business partners at home
or at the office, a ‘must have' is a nice tea set of a good quality. You will be
more pleased if tea will be served in quality and expensive china rather than in
casual cups of various sizes and style.
For instance,
tea set by Philipp Rosenthal & Co. is a good option to buy. This company
has been producing fine china of high quality for 120 years already. The
product of the company is offered in three lines, in particular Rosenthal
Studio-Line, Rosenthal Classic and Thomas. Rosenthal styled tea set is perfect
for offices with unique design and creative equipment and furniture. Your friends
and clients will definitely mark the loveliness and fragility of Rosenthal
china. Moreover, this company had the rights to produce collections for
Donatella Versace and owners of Bvlgari Couture House.
Czech china
is of great value till now along with the German one. Yet, pink Jarmila, Empir
and Lenka have very romantic look though they fit to any interior, not only to lady's
living room. Tea sets of ornamented china by Bernadotte, Marie-Louise,
Christine, Sylvie, Rose, Leon, Jana, Menuet, Opal and Constance may provide decoration
elements to the dwelling.
Luminarc tea
sets will meet requirements of those who prefer modern style in table serving.
Designers of this company create unique glass items with decorated elements.
The color varies from tender and romantic to bright and expressive. The style and
color allow tea ceremony unusual and unforgettable.
For sure East
takes the leading place in production of tea sets since tea ceremony as classic
origins from there. Nikko, the Japanese Company,
offers china tea sets manufactured by the latest technologies. Such china consists of bone ashes for 50% that
lets manufacturing thin crystal china ware. Yet, sometimes one is quite afraid to
hold such a Japanese cup in hands since it is very thin and fragile let along
drinking tea from it. However it is high technology and such items are solid
enough to wash in a dishwasher.
People still
have an eye for china tea sets though till XVIII century all tea sets were made
from silver, highly glazed pottery and majolica and only monarchs were deserved
china ware. Thus, when choosing a tea set give preference to the real china but
not color glass set of beautiful and trendy design. The set created by highly
qualified handicrafts will serve you for many long years thanks to durability,
strength and quality. If you happen to get genuine china set less some items like
milk pot, cream pot and sugar bowl, anyway such china will be a perfect
complement to the table serving saving the high spot of the table.
