Jingdezhen Hand-Painted Plum Blossom Underglaze Pu-erh Tea Cup / Teapot

Tea Cup

Teapot:

Inspired by the "Four Gentlemen" of Chinese art (plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum), the plum blossom symbolizes perseverance, purity, and hope—blooming vibrantly even in winter’s harshest chill.  

Symbolic Hand-Painted Design:

The cup features a  delicate underglaze plum blossom motif, painted by skilled artisans using traditional brush techniques. The design captures the flower’s poetic grace, with branches that seem to dance across the ceramic surface. 

Underglaze Craftsmanship:

The artwork is sealed beneath a  lustrous, food-safe glaze, ensuring the vibrant details remain timeless and resistant to wear. 

Perfect for Pu-erh Tea:

The cup’s wide rim and balanced weight enhance the tea’s aroma and mouthfeel, making it ideal for savoring aged Pu-erh.  

Cultural Heirloom:
 More than a tea vessel, this cup embodies the "Three Friends of Winter" spirit (plum, pine, and bamboo), representing unyielding character in adversity.  

Note: Slight variations in painting add to each cup’s uniqueness—no two blossoms are identical.
