Handmade Vintage Dunhuang Flying Fairy Gaiwan / Tea Bowl

This is a beautiful Gaiwan tea cup,featuring a design inspired by the rich artistic heritage of Dunhuang. The intricate lid showcases vibrant, symmetrical patterns in a palette of warm colors—yellow, green, brown, and blue—reminiscent of the Buddhist murals and motifs found in the Mogao Caves of Dunhuang. The body of the cup depicts a celestial being, or "Apsara," gracefully flying, which is a prominent feature in the Dunhuang frescoes. These artistic elements evoke the spiritual and cultural significance of the Silk Road, blending fine craftsmanship with historical reverence.

The cup’s overall design captures the essence of Dunhuang's mystical, ancient art, offering not only a functional tea-drinking experience but also a connection to China's profound cultural legacy.
