Porcelain is basically a type of ceramic. It’s more delicate, thin, and usually translucent. Porcelain is white and often comes with remarkable patterns. It’s great for tea parties and sophisticated tea times. Porcelain may crack if you use a boiling water, so reheat if first and avoid boiling water. They often contain no strainer and may be better for serving tea.
Other types of ceramics such as Yixing clay or stoneware teapots won’t crack at high temperature. Unlike unglazed ceramics, porcelain teapots and stoneware teapots won’t retain scents and aromas.
For example, a popular type of Chinese teapot called gaiwan can be made of different materials. If it’s made from porcelain, it will be very difficult to use with boiling water as you may burn your hands very easily. It can also be made from Yixing clay, or non-porous ceramics.
Another great example are Japanese teapots called kyusu. These ceramic teapots can be non-porous such as Shigaraki stoneware, or slightly porous such as Tokoname teapots. exclusive hand painted porcelain teapot buy online
