Sweet Summer_Teapot and Cups Inspired by the Taiwan Blue Magpie

✦ Design Concept ✦ Sweet Summer is a teaware set that captures the spirited energy and elegance of the Taiwan blue magpie. With elongated handles mimicking the bird’s sweeping tail feathers, both the teapot and cups embody summer’s bold vitality and the poetic notion that “distance creates beauty.” The striking design isn’t just symbolic — it’s also practical. The extended handles gently distance the hand from the heat, a humorous yet heartfelt gesture for summer comfort. More than form, this set celebrates balance: of heat and coolness, motion and stillness, wildness and serenity. ✦ Design feature ✦ **The Magpie’s Tail｜Grace in Flight** The exaggerated curved handles of the teapot and cups are inspired by the dynamic tail of the Taiwan blue magpie — a nod to freedom, flamboyance, and the uplifting spirit of summer. **Beauty of Distance｜Sensory Tension in Form** The extended handles add elegance while keeping hot liquid at a comfortable distance — slowing down the motion of pouring and drinking, and heightening mindfulness in every sip. **A Craftsmanship Challenge｜Elegant Engineering** Each handle is individually affixed, supported with structural bracing during kiln firing. Its wide arc is prone to warping at high temperature, demanding exceptional precision in execution. The lid and body are hand-paired to ensure a stable, harmonious fit. ✦ Dimension ✦ Cup｜L15.7 × W8 × H7.8 cm｜200 ml ✦ Gift Box & All-Occasion Card ✦ Perfect for important festivals, greetings to elders, corporate gifting, and art collections — conveying taste and blessings.
