Blue and White Underglaze Porcelain Cup with Scrolling Lotus Design for Puerh Tea

Derived from one of the three famous Ming Dynasty blue and white cups, the "Blue and White Lotus Scrolling Stem Footed Cup," it is said to be the official tea cup for Puerh tea.

Features of the Pu-erh Tea Cup:

The Pu-erh tea cup is characterized by its shallow depth and wide mouth. On one hand, this design is suitable for drinking Pu-erh tea in large sips, as the wide opening allows the tea to cool faster. On the other hand, drinking Pu-erh tea emphasizes appreciating the beautiful color of the tea liquor, so the middle diameter of the cup is made relatively large. This flat-footed, wide-mouthed, dignified, and simple cup design complements the rich and robust character of Pu-erh tea, hence it is also referred to as a "Pu-erh cup."

Craftsmanship and Aesthetic:

The cup is painted by experienced artist from Jingdezhen. The design features continuous and seamless patterns, executed with meticulous detail. The blue and white color is pure and clean, resembling a sapphire blue, which matches a tranquil and harmonious ambiance. At the same time, it exudes an understated yet luxurious aura, reflecting an expression of elegance that is modest but not lacking in opulence.
