This tea set combines traditional materials and craftsmanship with a modern, playful and highly portable design. The colorful elastic band on the tea set is not only a decoration, but also serves to protect hands from heat, since neither the cups not the pot have handles. All parts of the set fit snugly into a corkwood and ceramic container, which can also be adapted to other uses (it makes a fine flowerpot). This tea set employs a creative design that suits the modern way of drinking tea.
