The main porcelain kilns producing tea sets in Song Dynasty are Ding Kiln, Guan Kiln, Jun Kiln, Yaozhou Kiln, Ru Kiln, Ciyao Kiln, Longquan Kiln, Jingdezhen Kiln and Jianshe Kiln. Because of the strong fighting ability of tea, black tea cups are advocated in order to observe white tea foam and water marks, so black porcelain (sword lamp) is the most famous. The Yuan Dynasty followed the tea drinking style of the Song Dynasty, and at the same time, the ceramic technology of the Yuan Dynasty also made great progress, which was the maturity and development period of Jingdezhen white glazed porcelain and blue and white porcelain.
During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the varieties, styles and shapes of tea drinking utensils gradually moved closer to modern times. Besides Yixing pottery, Jingdezhen porcelain is the best tea set. Blue and white porcelain, sweet white porcelain, Chenghua Doucai porcelain, Hongzhi burnt yellow porcelain, multicolored porcelain, enameled porcelain and so on have many colors, competing for each other.
In modern times, the color glaze and painting of Jingdezhen ceramics have reached a high level. With the addition of Tangshan porcelain, Liling porcelain and Dehua porcelain, the quality of porcelain tea sets has been greatly improved, and the variety has also increased greatly. China's porcelain tea set has entered an era with a wide variety.
