Longquan Celadon Plum Blossom Hand-carved Pattern Host Tea Cup

*The rim of the cup is shaped like a plum blossom, with a plum blossom carved in the center of the cup’s interior. It exudes a noble and elegant appearance.

*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."
