Warm Ivory Ru Ware Tea Set — 160 mL Teapot, 4 Cups & Tray

Warm ivory ceramic. Small tasting cups. A complete tea setting designed for quieter shared infusions.

Discover the Warm Ivory Ru Ware Tea Set, a compact six-piece tea setting built around softly rounded forms, a restrained warm-ivory palette and a coordinated tea tray.

At the centre is a 160 mL Xishi-style teapot, paired with four matching 40 mL tasting cups and a Guanyun tea tray measuring approximately 32.8 × 19 × 4 cm.

Warm ivory ceramic and subtle surface texture keep the setting calm and understated, while warm brown handle and lid details provide gentle contrast. The darker tray visually anchors the lighter vessels and gives the complete set a defined place on the tea table.

Designed for smaller servings and repeated infusions, the set is particularly well suited to loose-leaf tea shared among approximately 2–4 people.

What’s Included

1 × Xishi-Style Teapot — Approx. 160 mL

A softly rounded warm-ivory teapot with a curved brown-toned handle and coordinated lid detail.

• Capacity: Approx. 160 mL

Its compact size is naturally suited to:

Small-Batch Brewing · Repeated Infusions · Shared Tasting

The Xishi-style silhouette gives the teapot a low, rounded and balanced appearance that works especially well with the minimal design.

4 × Matching Tea Cups — Approx. 40 mL Each

Four small tasting cups create a natural setting for shared tea.

• Capacity: Approx. 40 mL each

Their smaller size encourages:

Shorter Pours · Repeated Infusions · Shared Tasting

rather than one large serving.

1 × Guanyun Tea Tray

A dark rectangular tray completes the setting.

• Dimensions: Approx. 32.8 × 19 × 4 cm

The tray provides both practical organization and visual contrast.

The combination becomes:

Warm Ivory Ceramic + Dark Tea Tray

This helps the lighter teaware stand out while keeping the overall composition restrained.

Quiet Beauty in Simple Form

This collection takes a deliberately minimal approach.

There are no:

Painted Flowers

Mountain Landscapes

Animal Motifs

Decorative Borders

Instead, the eye moves toward smaller details:

Rounded Teapot Form · Curved Handle · Soft Ceramic Texture · Tea Colour · Light and Dark Contrast

Nothing dominates the setting.

The simplicity gives the tea more visual space.

Soft Form · Warm Glaze · Eastern Simplicity

Why Warm Ivory?

Bright white porcelain can feel crisp and highly neutral.

Warm ivory creates a softer effect.

Its cream-toned appearance works naturally with:

Wood · Linen · Neutral Interiors · Warm Lighting · Natural Materials

It also gives brewed tea a gentle background without creating the stronger contrast of pure white porcelain.

The result feels:

Warm · Quiet · Natural · Refined

The Beauty of a 160 mL Teapot

The 160 mL teapot is one of the strongest functional features of the set.

It is small enough to encourage repeated infusions, but still practical for a small shared tea session.

Instead of making one large pot:

Brew a Smaller Amount

↓

Pour into Four Cups

↓

Taste

↓

Return to the Leaves

This creates a natural rhythm for loose-leaf tea that changes over multiple infusions.

Why 40 mL Tasting Cups?

Each cup holds approximately:

40 mL

This tasting-style capacity is intentionally small.

For four people, the cups allow the same infusion to be shared in modest portions.

For two people, the session can move through several pours naturally.

The smaller cups also allow hot tea to be tasted in shorter intervals rather than sitting for a long time in a large mug.

The rhythm becomes:

Small Cup · Fresh Pour · Another Infusion

Tea for 2–4 People

The set works flexibly across different group sizes.

Two People

Several slower pours can be shared comfortably.

Three People

Each infusion can be divided into smaller portions.

Four People

Each person receives one tasting-style cup.

The tea session remains intimate even with four people around the table.

One Pot · Four Cups · Shared Tea

A Complete Tea Space

The included tray is what makes this set different from a simple teapot-and-cup configuration.

Without a tray:

Teapot + Cups

With the tray:

A Defined Tea Setting

The pieces have a clear place.

The darker surface frames the warm-ivory ceramic.

The complete arrangement can stay compact enough for a:

Dining Table · Side Table · Tea Corner · Small Apartment

This makes the set especially approachable for someone beginning a more intentional loose-leaf tea ritual.

Warm Ivory vs. Jade White

These two minimal tea styles create different moods.

Warm Ivory

Soft · Warm · Natural

• Cream-toned ceramic

• Brown details

• Dark tray

• More relaxed visual warmth

Jade White

Clean · Luminous · Pure

• Brighter white porcelain

• Stronger emphasis on tea colour

• More formal minimalism

The simple distinction:

Warm Minimalism → Warm Ivory

Pure Minimalism → Jade White

Warm Ivory vs. Celadon Ru Ware

Warm Ivory

Warm · Neutral · Minimal

A softer cream-toned setting with natural contrast.

Celadon Ru Ware

Cool · Blue-Green · Calm

A more recognizably celadon aesthetic.

Choose according to interior and visual preference:

Warm Neutrals → Warm Ivory

Cool Celadon → Celadon Ru Ware

Made for Repeated Infusions

The 160 mL teapot and 40 mL cups are naturally suited to tea prepared through successive rounds.

This is especially useful with teas where the same leaves can be revisited several times.

Across repeated infusions:

Aroma Changes

Texture Develops

The Leaves Continue to Open

The Tea Gradually Softens

The smaller vessels encourage you to notice those changes.

Which Teas Work Well?

Oolong Tea

Aromatic & Layered

One of the most natural matches for smaller repeated infusions.

Pu-erh Tea

Deep & Evolving

Well suited to multiple short infusions and shared tasting.

Black Tea

Warm & Aromatic

Amber and copper-toned tea complements the warm ivory ceramic.

White Tea

Gentle & Refined

A Thoughtful Tea Gift

The set combines:

Neutral Design + Complete Tray Configuration + Gongfu-Inspired Proportions

This makes it especially suitable for:

• Loose-leaf tea lovers

• Couples

• Small households

• Families

• Housewarmings

• Birthdays

• Holidays

• Host gifts

• Gongfu-inspired tea beginners

• Minimal interior lovers

• Eastern-inspired homes

Because the design is neutral and unpatterned, it is also easier to gift when you are unsure whether someone prefers floral, landscape or illustrated teaware.
