This Hand-Painted Koi Fish Ceramic Gaiwan Teacup with Lid is a 130 ml lidded brewing cup in ceramic, decorated with a hand-painted koi in red scales and blue fins sweeping across a warm cream glaze. The gaiwan format suits kung fu tea sessions at home or in the office, and the listing also offers a cup-only version with or without a gift box.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Koi fish: In Chinese folk tradition, the word for fish sounds like the word for surplus, so the koi has long been regarded as a symbol of abundance, and the old legend of the carp leaping the Dragon Gate made it a traditional emblem of perseverance and achievement. On this piece the koi is the focal motif: a single fish is hand-painted in red and blue across the bowl, with its tail and fins continuing onto the lid.
Sancai glaze: The name sancai means "three colors" and refers to the multi-color lead-glaze tradition associated with Tang dynasty ceramics. Here the palette pairs a cream ground with red and blue painted tones, and because each piece is fired at high temperature, the fired pattern varies from cup to cup.

Why You'll Love This Gaiwan
- The hand-painted koi wraps the bowl and lid, so the motif reads clearly from every angle during a tea session instead of sitting hidden on one face.
- The lidded gaiwan format lets you steep and strain loose-leaf tea in one vessel, and the roughly 202 g body feels substantial and steady in the hand.
- High-temperature firing means glaze tones and painted details vary slightly between pieces, so each cup is individually marked.
Care Instructions
- Rinse with warm water after each use; for residue, wash gently with a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent.
- Avoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh chemicals, which can dull the painted glaze surface.
- Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes and keep the cup away from hard impacts.
- Dry fully and store in a dry place where the lid and bowl rest securely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the gaiwan teacup and the koi fish cup?
They are two formats in the same listing. The gaiwan teacup has a lid and measures 13.5cm*9.7cm with a 130 ml capacity at about 202g; the koi fish cup measures 9.5cm*8.8cm, also 130 ml, at about 412g. Choose the gaiwan if you want a lid for steeping and straining loose-leaf tea.
Is the saucer or tray shown alongside the cup included?
No. The listing states that the other cup accessories are photo props and are not included. The gaiwan version includes the cup with its lid; a cup-only version is also offered, with or without a gift box.
Will my cup look exactly like the one in the pictures?
Close, but not identical. Each piece is hand-painted and fired at high temperature, and the fired pattern shifts with temperature and humidity, so slight variation in color, size, and design occurs between cups.
Does the koi design carry any meaning?
Yes, as decoration. In Chinese folk tradition the koi is associated with abundance and perseverance because the word for fish sounds like the word for surplus and the carp-leaping-the-Dragon-Gate legend is well known. These are traditional design references, not claims that the cup produces any effect.
Is this suitable as a gift for a tea drinker?
It works well as a gift, and the listing offers a version with a gift box. The distinctive hand-painted koi and the classic gaiwan format make it an easy pick for someone who brews kung fu tea.
Note: Cultural references describe traditional beliefs and design inspiration only. They are not claims that the product produces any actual effect.
