Drip Tease Collection by Reiko Kaneko

British-Japanese designer Reiko Kaneko pushes the boundaries when it comes to fine bone china. Gone away are traditional figurines or your grandmother’s not-so-exciting tea set, and replaced with beautiful, modern designs, oftentimes inspired by her Japanese heritage. Now back to that tea set… The Drip Tease collection might be a classic looking tea set in form, but this one has a bit of a contemporary twist.

Each piece in the set comes complete with playful drips of “tea” represented in precious gold and platinum. So while normal drips are usually unwanted, these are fancy little details that you’ll want to embrace.
