This 80cc tea cup is a fine example of "Gu Lan You" or Ancient Blue Glaze Porcelain, displaying the revered Celadon technique. The cup features a serene "Lotus & Fish" motif, a design steeped in cultural symbolism and artistic tradition.
The Celadon glaze, with its soothing green hue, creates a lustrous, translucent surface that interacts with light to reveal the depth and complexity of the underlying design. The blue of the lotus and fish design provides a striking contrast, its gentle brush strokes invoking a sense of movement and natural beauty.
The cup's form is classic, with a wide opening that allows the aroma of the tea to be fully appreciated. The crackled texture of the glaze is a signature characteristic of Celadon ware, inviting the touch and adding an antique aesthetic to the piece.
Ideal for the Gongfu tea ceremony or daily enjoyment, this tea cup is more than a vessel—it is a small work of art that embodies centuries of porcelain craftsmanship, offering a tactile and visual experience that enhances the simple act of drinking tea.
