Its low, open Douli form invites you to appreciate the artwork as you drink. Made from high-fired Dehua ceramic, the 60 ml cup is perfectly suited to small, successive Gongfu tea infusions.

Everything you may want to knowProduct questions

A practical guide to materials, making, care, delivery and returns.

Choose a topic

What materials are used?

Materials vary by product and are listed on each product page.

Are the glazes food-safe?

Products intended for tea or food contact are selected for normal domestic use. Where a product is designed for drinking, brewing or serving tea, it is intended to be used for that purpose.

What materials are used?

Our pieces are handcrafted in stoneware and porcelain, sourced from regions in China renowned for centuries of ceramic tradition.

Jingdezhen, known as China's porcelain capital for over a thousand years, produces our fine porcelain pieces, prized for their smooth white body and ability to take detailed glazes. Yixing, famous for its zisha (purple clay) stoneware, produces our unglazed and reactive-glaze stoneware pieces, valued for their density and the way the clay develops character with use.

Each piece is fired and finished by hand, which is why glaze patterns, especially on reactive-glaze stoneware, vary slightly from piece to piece. Material and exact origin are noted on each individual product page.

Are your products lead-free?

For products intended for tea or food contact, we aim to source items suitable for normal domestic use. If a product has specific safety, material or testing information, we will include it on the product page. If you need confirmation for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

Can I use the product every day?

Yes, unless stated otherwise on the product page. Our tea ware is selected to balance design with practical everyday use. To preserve the finish, we recommend gentle handling and following the care instructions for each product.

Why do colours, glaze or texture vary slightly?

Many tea ware pieces are shaped, glazed, fired or finished in small batches. Heat, glaze, clay body and hand finishing can create subtle differences in colour, texture and surface. These variations are part of the character of crafted tea ware.

What materials are used?

Materials vary by product and are listed on each product page.

How are the pieces made?

The making process depends on the product. Pieces may be shaped, cast, glazed, fired, polished or finished by skilled workshops. This process gives each item its texture, weight, tone and character.

Why are there small variations between pieces?

Small variations are rare, but they can occasionally happen during shaping, glazing, firing or finishing. Slight differences in colour, surface, texture or form may occur from one piece to another and are part of the character of crafted tea ware.

Is it suitable as a gift?

Yes. Chadao pieces are selected to feel considered, calm and gift-ready, making them suitable for tea lovers, design-conscious homes and thoughtful everyday rituals.

Can I send it directly to someone?

Yes. Enter the recipient’s delivery address at checkout and make sure the address is complete and accurate. Order updates will be sent to the Adresse e-mail used at checkout.
