【台灣壺茶具組】
台灣四百年 創藝一支壺
身是台灣島，蓋乃玉山峰，把為蝴蝶翼，底現足樂情。
台灣陶壺工藝師作品，以台灣意象元素形制，融合台灣工夫茶文化，泥料取自台灣高嶺土，經高溫燒製而成，外顯台灣特色，內蘊台灣精神，堪稱最具台灣本土代表性的「台灣原生茶具組」。
【台灣壺茶具組】承襲閩南式工夫茶之傳統，融入台灣人日常生活文化；並以台灣本土老師傅之巧工技藝，表現文創產品之美感與實用性。
形制與紋飾：茶壺以「台灣島」地形（古地圖橫躺式）構成壺身，其上雕刻台灣山脈走勢，並於南台灣之岬角處製成壺嘴，呈現立體之台灣地形。壺把以蝶翼造型設計，代表台灣「蝴蝶王國」之特色，並寓意「台灣起飛」。壺蓋（含鈕）雕刻台灣最高之玉山主峰，凝聚向上的動力，象徵「超越巔峰」。茶杯則於杯內底面浮雕「台灣島」，與茶壺互相呼應，構成意象鮮明的【台灣壺茶具組】。
材質與作工：為求「台灣本色」，本作品使用純台灣陶土（南投高嶺土），不摻其他外來泥料，燒製成磚紅色之陶壺、陶杯，與台灣這片土地緊密結合，並喚起古早味之燒窯記憶，深化對台灣之情感。本作品是「MIT」＆「DIT」的原生文創工藝品。
本作品「觀賞實用兩相宜」，使用者賞玩時恰可「摩挲台灣」，持壺斟茶時可「把握台灣」，飲茶時可「察（茶）現台灣」，「用台灣壺、喝台灣茶、更有台灣味」，這是多麼美好的福份啊！願所有愛台灣的人，都能享有這個福份！

Taiwan Pot Tea Ware Set
Taiwan’s four hundred years’ history
Creative art of a tea pot
The body is the island of Taiwan,
The cover is the jade mountain,
The handle is a butterfly wing,
The bottom is fully happy feeling.
The works of Taiwanese ceramic pot craftsman are shaped and structured by Taiwanese imagery elements, integrated with Taiwan kung fu tea culture, made of stock taken from Taiwan kaolin, fired at high temperature, displaying Taiwanese characteristics outside, absorbing Taiwanese spirit inside, can be rated as most representative “Taiwan native tea ware set.”
Taiwan Pot Tea Ware Set inherits Mingnan-style kung fu tea tradition, contained in Taiwanese daily life culture; and the craftsman skills of Taiwanese masters are used to display the beauty and practicality of cultural and creative products.
Using “Taiwan Island” terrain (lying type ancient map) to constitute the pot body, on which the mountains of Taiwan are carved, and the spout is made on the headland at the southern Taiwan, showing 3D Taiwan terrain. The handle was designed based on butterfly wings, representing the Taiwanese characteristics of “butterfly kingdom” and meaning “Taiwan takeoff.” The lid (with button) engraved with Taiwan’s highest peak of Yushan in relief, accumulating upward momentum, a symbol of “transcending beyond the peak.” The bottom surface inside the cups is embossed with the design of “Taiwan Island”, corresponding with the teapot and constituting a distinctive image of “Taiwan Pot Tea Ware Set”.
Material and workmanship: for the sake of “Taiwan nature”, this work was made of Taiwan pure clay (Nantou kaolin) , without mixing with other exotic stock, the brick red ceramic pots and ceramic cups fired, connected with this land, Taiwan, closely, evoking the typified kilning memories, and deepening the emotion toward Taiwan. This work is full flavor of Taiwan, the native cultural and creative crafts “MIT” & “DIT”.
The work is “both ornamental and practical properly”. While delighting in it, the user can exactly “caress Taiwan”; while holding a tea pot, he can “seize Taiwan”; while drinking tea, he can “observe Taiwan”. “Using Taiwan pot and drinking Taiwan tea has more Taiwanese flavor. What wonderful blessing it is! May all who love Taiwan can enjoy this blessing!
