Decorating with Yixing Teapots,
Tea Trays, and
Tea Sets
It's quite apparent that collectors of
attractive Yixing are
interested in using these exceptional teapots for preparing and
drinking tea.
Nonetheless, Yixing mastery
also can serve another role as a characteristic of your residence or office
décor.
Try choose your
teapot in a coloring that will balance the colorings of the paneling, flooring, or
article of furniture of a living space. As an example, it is potential to imagine Yixing’s gentle blue
as a point of focus even in a bedroom. Keep in mind, though, that Yixing’s earth
tones-light-green,
red,
orange-red-are very
neutral and can suit any interior.
Yixing’s number of shapes
can also make a impressive contribution to your room. Traditional shapes suit
traditional interiors,
and contemporary shapes,
which tend to be abstract or geometrical in design, clearly will work as part of
a new and modern setting. But it’s also interesting to put together an different
feel, by grouping traditional and modern forms to develop an surprising
effect. Yixing teapots can make a creative statement spread cleverly
throughout your home, in the kitchen, family room, dining room, and living
room-or impact your interior decoration more dramatically as they call notice to
themselves as grouped in a beautiful collection.
Surprisingly, Yixing teapots can be unexpected and attractive additions to an
place of work, too. They do not necessitate much showing space, and for those who are
interested in producing office space their own, the teapots offer artistic value
and comfort.
Tea trays, whether standing
alone or displaying one or more Yixing
teapots, can also create a beautiful result, whether on a credenza or in an
professional office conference room. Consider making them a
focal point in your home décor, as well. They are available in a number of
styles-traditional,
ornate, and modern-day.
You can pick from different woods, such as teak and rosewood, all rich and
luxurious. (Find a great selection of Chinese tea trays here:
Rosewood Tray
Rectangular.)
Give a bit of thought to integrating teapots and tea trays into your gift giving
plans. They make perfect gifts for weddings and anniversaries. And what would
be more appropriate as a housewarming gift or a token of thanks for a host or
hostess? They can also bond generations of friends and family members. For
instance, mothers or other significant women in the lives of younger women could
help their daughters, granddaughters, nieces, friends, etc., piece together
collections of their own. Yixing teapots can be lasting memorial of comfort and
love.
It is surprising that such a serviceable piece of pottery can gratify on so many
levels. Or perhaps it is not so surprising.
Yixing teapots are the work of individual, accomplished
potters and are pieces of
art in themselves. We know that art can be both practical and profoundly
satisfying, like Yixing
teapots are.
