A small handleless tasting cup in the kung fu tea style, this Jian Zhan Zodiac Teacup is handmade ceramic with a glossy amber rim that deepens into dark brown walls streaked with fine hare fur lines. Inside, a pale medallion at the bottom of the cup carries a hand-painted zodiac animal, revealed as the tea is drained. It holds about 73ml and is made for daily tea sessions, gifting, or a quiet teacup display on a bamboo tray.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Chinese zodiac animal: in Chinese tradition, the zodiac is a cycle of twelve animal signs, with one animal ruling each year in the twelve-year cycle and each also corresponding to a two-hour segment of the day. The painting of your chosen animal sits in the interior medallion, so the design appears as you sip and at the end of each cup of tea.
Jian Zhan hare fur glaze: Jian ware from Jianyang in Fujian has been fired for centuries and was prized in Song dynasty tea culture. The hare fur style takes its name from the thin, fur-like streaks that form as the iron-rich glaze runs and settles in the kiln; on this cup they radiate from the warm amber rim down into the dark glaze.
Ink-style animal painting: the zodiac figure is rendered in a loose brush style with small red blossom accents, echoing the ink painting tradition applied to a functional tea object.

- These products are HANDMADE and NATURAL, therefore they may present some irregularities and due to lighting effects, the colour may slightly vary from the one shown in the picture.
Why You'll Love This Teacup
- A design you drink through: the zodiac painting waits inside the cup rather than on the outside wall, so each refill frames the animal against the tea.
- Traditional glaze character: the hare fur streaking is created in the firing, which gives every cup its own pattern instead of a printed uniform look.
- Twelve signs to choose from: the zodiac options make it easy to match a cup to your own birth-year animal or to a friend's as a gift.
Care Instructions
- Rinse the cup after tea sessions and let it dry fully before storing to keep the interior glaze clean.
- Wash by hand with a soft cloth or sponge; avoid abrasive scouring pads that can dull the glaze.
- Keep it away from harsh detergents and strong odors, and avoid sudden temperature shocks.
- Store upright in a dry cabinet or on a tray with space around the rim.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose which zodiac cup to order?
Twelve zodiac options are listed, one per animal sign. Pick the animal of your birth year in the twelve-year zodiac cycle, or the sign of the person you are gifting it to. The animal is painted on the interior medallion, so the option you choose changes the picture inside the cup.
Will the glaze pattern look exactly like the photo?
Close but not identical. The cups are fired at high temperatures, and the hare fur streaks shift with conditions in the kiln, so color, pattern and size vary slightly from piece to piece. Lighting and screens can also make the glaze read a little differently than in the listing photo.
Does the cup come with the tea tray and other props in the photo?
No. The listing states clearly that the other accessories shown are photo props and are not included. You receive the ceramic cup itself.
Is 73ml enough, and how is it meant to be used?
Yes for its role: 73ml is a typical tasting-cup size for kung fu tea, meant for sipping small, fragrant rounds from a gaiwan or teapot rather than drinking a large mug of tea. The manual measurement is 6.8cm*3.6cm with a slight possible deviation.
