This 999 Sterling Silver Gilding Ceramic Kung Fu Teacup is a small tasting cup with a soft celadon-green glaze outside, a bright silvered interior, and a hand-painted scene that wraps across the cup wall. Choose from butterfly, goldfish, lotus, or koi fish versions. At about 120 milliliters, it is sized for personal tea sessions and gongfu-style brewing.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Lotus: Rising clean from muddy water to bloom, the lotus is traditionally regarded as a symbol of purity and quiet emergence in Buddhist and South Asian traditions. On the lotus version, blue and white blossoms are painted across the cup surface.
Fish (goldfish and koi): In Chinese folk tradition the word for fish sounds like the word for surplus, so fish have long been regarded as an emblem of abundance, and the koi in particular is traditionally associated with perseverance and achievement. The painted fish carry flowing, gold-outlined tails that curve around the cup.
Butterfly: In Feng Shui tradition the butterfly is used as a motif associated with change and lightness. The butterfly version shows a blue and gold winged figure set against the green glaze.
Silvered interior: Silver is counted among the Seven Treasures in Buddhist tradition and has been used in vessels and jewelry for centuries; here a 999 sterling silver gilding lines the inside of the cup.

Why You'll Love This Teacup
- The 120ml capacity and small footprint suit a personal pour of oolong, pu-erh, or green tea without cooling too slowly.
- The bright silvered interior against the celadon exterior gives the cup a distinctive look from every angle, including the pour.
- Four painted scenes make it easy to pick a motif — or build a matching set over time.
Care Instructions
- Rinse after use and wash by hand with mild detergent and a soft cloth or sponge.
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh cleaners, which can scratch the painted surface and the silvered interior.
- Do not use the cup in a microwave, as the interior carries a metal lining.
- Dry thoroughly before storing, and keep the cup away from sudden extreme temperature changes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which of the four painted scenes should I choose?
Pick by the image you like on the table: the butterfly version reads lightest, the goldfish and koi versions carry the most color and movement, and the lotus version is the quietest blue-and-white composition. All four share the same cup shape, glaze, and 120ml capacity.
Is the inside of the cup really silver?
The listing describes the interior as 999 sterling silver gilding, and the photos show a bright metallic lining inside the cup rather than bare glaze. Treat it as a metal-lined surface: hand wash only, no abrasive pads, no microwave.
Will my cup look exactly like the picture?
Close, but not identical. Each cup is hand-painted and high-fired, and the listing notes that patterns, colors, and details vary from piece to piece because of firing conditions. That variation is part of what makes each cup individual.
Is 120ml the right size for daily tea?
120ml is a classic gongfu tasting-cup volume — roughly two to three small mouthfuls per pour. If you prefer a large mug of tea to sip for an hour, this cup is meant for repeated small pours instead.
