Hand-Painted Dragon Porcelain Tea Cup with a Gilded Interior for Kung Fu Tea
Couldn't load pickup availability

This Hand-Painted Dragon Porcelain Tea Cup is a rounded white porcelain cup with a fully gilded interior that flashes gold at the rim. Its outer wall carries a dragon drawn in fine gold outlines — red horns and mouth, green claws — drifting through soft grey ink-wash clouds, with a gold geometric band circling the foot. Holding about 160 milliliters, it is made for gongfu tea sessions where the gilt lining catches the light with every pour.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
- Dragon: The dragon is a longstanding motif in Chinese decorative art, traditionally regarded as a symbol of strength and good fortune. In Chinese folk belief the dragon is tied to clouds and water, and this cup paints that association directly: the gold-lined dragon winds through washes of grey cloud across the porcelain.
- Gilt Finish: The all-over gold interior and matching rim give the traditional dragon composition a dressier, more ceremonial presence on the tea tray, in the manner of gilt-decorated porcelain.

Why You'll Love This Tea Cup
- The gilded interior is the design's signature: the gold lining is visible every time you lift the cup or pour tea into it, which makes the piece read as premium at the tea table.
- The dragon is rendered in delicate gold line work over ink-wash clouds rather than flat color, so the painting stays subtle and detailed up close.
- At 160 milliliters the cup sits between a tasting cup and a full mug, a practical middle size for solo gongfu sessions.
Care Instructions
- Hand wash only with warm water and a soft cloth; never use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or harsh chemical cleaners on the gilt interior or the gold-outlined painting.
- Rinse tea residue promptly and dry fully with a soft cloth before storing to keep the gold finish bright.
- Because the cup carries a metallic gilt finish, keep it out of the microwave, and avoid sudden extreme temperature changes; store in a dry place.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I know about the gold interior before buying?
The listing specifies the material as Ceramic, Gilt — the interior carries a gold-plated finish, which gives a solid gold look over the surface. It is a decorative finish meant to be treated gently: hand washing with a soft cloth and no abrasives is the right routine.
How big is the cup and what does it hold?
The cup measures 8.5cm*6cm and holds 160 milliliters. That is larger than a small tasting cup but smaller than a full mug, a common size for drinking tea in the gongfu style. The measurement is manual, so allow a slight deviation.
Can I put this cup in the microwave or dishwasher?
No. The gilt finish is a metallic coating, so the cup should stay out of the microwave, and its hand-painted surface is better off hand washing rather than a dishwasher's abrasives and heat.
Will the painted dragon look exactly like the listing photo?
Close, but not identical. Each cup is hand-painted and fired at high temperature, and kiln conditions shift the finished pattern, so small differences in the cloud washes, gold line work, and color between pieces are expected.
