Longquan Celadon Martial Lion Design Hand-carved Host Tea Cup

* Originates from Longquan City, the birthplace of celadon from the Song Dynasty's official kilns.

* Compared to the painted ceramics of Jingdezhen, Longquan celadon is distinguished by its hand-carved, underglaze patterns, requiring higher skill from artisans. The carved floral designs have a three-dimensional texture, with distinct depth and lifelike detail.

* Another feature of Longquan celadon is its smooth, translucent glaze, earning it the praise of being "like jade, but beyond jade in beauty."
