Hand-Painted Gong Fu Tea Master Cup - Lotus Design

Tea cups are part of a gong fu tea set, typically including multiple small cups for tasting tea.Our hand-painted blue and white porcelain tea cups from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, feature hand-drawn designs of blue lotus flowers.

In Chinese culture, the lotus holds significant symbolic meaning. It is often seen as a symbol of purity and elegance due to its ability to emerge unstained from the mud, embodying resilience and noble character. Thus, it is regarded as the "gentleman’s flower," representing the spirit of maintaining one's virtues despite external influences.

The Chinese tea ceremony embodies a vast and diverse cultural heritage. The origin of a cup, its historical background, the paintings on it, and the patterns in the artwork all contribute to this richness. Our tea masters are continually learning and improving.
