Why You'll Love This Set
This is an exquisite 3-piece Wheel-Thrown Porcelain Celadon Chinese Tea Set & Wooden Serving Tray! It is a historically accurate replica crafted with breathtaking skill by the talented IGMA Fellow Troy Schmidt of Red Dragon Pottery. Mr. Schmidt hand-throws each piece on a full-sized potter's wheel, making every element truly special. This particular set features a teapot adorned with an elegant oriental hand-carved leaf design and a unique, entwined bamboo handle, complete with a removable lid and two perfectly matching cups. All three pieces boast the most lovely pale celadon green glazed finish. A carved wood serving tray completes this ensemble.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
