Handcrafted Ceramic Kung Fu Tea Cup with Ginkgo Leaf and Lotus Pod Relief
Couldn't load pickup availability

This Ginkgo Leaf Ceramic Kung Fu Tea Cup is a small handle-free tea bowl finished with a raised, bronze-toned ginkgo leaf relief that spreads across one side, its long curved stem trailing down toward the foot. The pale celadon glaze breaks into a mottled amber-brown toward the base where the high firing pooled the color, so every cup reads as its own piece. Sized for gongfu-style tea drinking at the desk, on a tea tray, or as a quiet display object between sessions, it is offered in green and red glazes in two sizes.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Ginkgo leaf: The ginkgo is among the oldest living tree lineages and has been cultivated around temples and gardens in East Asia for centuries; its fan-shaped leaf has long been used as a decorative motif, traditionally associated with longevity and steadfastness. Here the leaf is modeled in low relief with dotted texture and incised veins, edged in the warm bronze tone of the exposed clay body.
High-fired glaze: The two-tone surface comes from the firing itself rather than painting. The maker notes that patterns vary with temperature and humidity in the kiln, so the way the glaze pools and mottles at the foot differs from cup to cup, giving each piece individual artistic character.

Why You'll Love This Tea Cup
- Sculptural detail you can feel: The ginkgo relief stands proud of the glaze, so the cup registers as a designed object in the hand, not just a printed surface.
- Two honest sizes: The 120 ml and 155 ml versions cover a short tea session or a longer pour, with overall dimensions listed for each.
- Kiln-made uniqueness: Because the mottled glaze shifts with each firing, no two cups match the photograph exactly, which suits collectors of handmade tea ware.
Care Instructions
- Hand-wash with warm water and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scourers that can scratch the glaze.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as pouring boiling water into a chilled cup or setting a hot cup on a wet surface.
- Rinse tea residue promptly after use to keep the matte relief areas clean.
- Dry fully and store where the rim and relief will not be knocked.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I pick?
Choose by how much you like to drink per fill. The 7.6cm*6.6cm version holds about 120 ml for short, concentrated gongfu sessions, while the 7.2cm*6cm version holds about 155 ml, a slightly taller pour for everyday tea. Both are handle-free bowls meant to be held in the palm.
Will my cup look exactly like the photo?
No, and that is expected. The maker states that high-temperature firing causes variation in pattern, color, and size from piece to piece, so the mottling around the base and the glaze tone will differ somewhat from the photograph while the ginkgo relief design stays the same.
Does it come with a saucer, lid, or teapot?
Just the cup. The listing notes that any other accessories shown in the photos are photo props and are not included.
Green or red glaze — how do they differ?
The design and sizes are the same; the option changes the glaze colorway. The green version is the pale celadon shown here with amber mottling at the foot, and the red version carries the same relief treatment in a warm red glaze. Both show kiln variation.
Is this cup suitable as a gift for a tea drinker?
Yes. The relief work makes it photogenic on a tea tray, the 120-155 ml capacities suit real daily use rather than display only, and the handmade glaze variation gives it a keepsake quality without needing a matching set to start.
