Young master, timeless clay, one perfect moment.
Crafted in 1943 by the legendary Gu Jingzhou at just 28 years old, the Jade Dew tea set is a stunning early milestone from one of Yixing's most celebrated masters. The name evokes the pure, glistening freshness of morning dew on jade — a poetic nod to the clarity and refinement that great tea deserves. Made during a pivotal moment in Gu's career, every curve and inscription in this set carries the energy of a young genius hitting his stride.
Gu Jingzhou personally inscribed and sealed this set himself — a rare all-in-one feat that makes it both a functional tea set and a signed work of art.
