This Chinese Zodiac Ceramic Tea Cup is a handleless kung fu tea bowl in a deep blue glaze that streaks dark toward the rim and lightens in rivulets down the body, with the zodiac animal of your choice drawn in fine gold line beside its seal-script character. Holding about 135 ml, it is sized for personal gongfu tea sessions at a tea desk, and the twelve animal options make it an easy birth-year gift.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Chinese Zodiac: the twelve animals form the traditional East Asian cycle that has long reckoned years, with each animal ruling one year of the twelve. Choosing the cup that matches your birth year follows that customary pairing, and the set of twelve versions lets a family or group each keep their own sign.
Gold animal and seal-script character: beside the gilded animal stands its name in seal script, an ancient form of Chinese writing still used in art and carving today. The animal itself is drawn in a flowing, brush-like outline — the horse version shown rears mid-stride with a curled tail — so sign and character read together as one composition on the glaze.
Streaked blue glaze: the blue-to-black vertical streaks are a kiln effect created as the glaze moves in the fire, a finish prized in Chinese tea ware for its depth. Because each firing shifts the pattern, no two cups carry the same streaking.

Notice: Due to the kiln's natural transformation process, the pattern on each piece of teaware may vary slightly. As a result, every tea cup is unique and special, while still maintaining a consistent overall appearance.
They are fired at high temperatures by authentic and experienced artisans. The fired pattern will vary due to changes in temperature, humidity, etc. Slight variation may occur in color, size, and design, enhancing the individual artistic character of each piece.
The above data is manual measurement, so there is a slight deviation.
These products are handmade, and due to lighting effects, the color may slightly vary from the one shown in the picture.
Why You'll Love This Cup
The 135 ml bowl shape is the classic personal size for gongfu brewing — enough for several short steeps' worth of oolong or pu-erh without going flat. The unglazed foot ring gives it a stable, traditional tea-bowl stance, and the gold zodiac detail keeps the cup recognizable from across a tea table. With twelve animals available, it suits birthdays, Lunar New Year, and host gifts.
Care Instructions
Rinse with warm water after each use and clean with a soft cloth or sponge; avoid abrasive scouring pads, which can dull the glaze and scratch the gold design. Because of the metallic decoration, hand washing is recommended and the microwave is best avoided. Let the cup dry fully before storing it where the rim will not be knocked.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get the zodiac animal I want?
Pick your animal from the listing options — all twelve zodiac signs are available. The photos show one version as an example, so confirm the selected option matches the birth-year animal you intend to give or keep.
Is this one cup or a full tea set?
It is a single cup. The tray, box lining, and other items visible in the photos are photo props and are not included, as noted in the listing.
Will the blue glaze look exactly like the photos?
Close, but not identical. The streaked pattern is created in the kiln and shifts from piece to piece, so your cup will have the same overall look with its own distribution of light and dark streaks.
Can I put it in the dishwasher or microwave?
No. The gold zodiac decoration is a luster detail that dishwasher detergent and microwave heat can damage. Hand wash gently and use it for serving tea, not for heating drinks.
What tea is a 135 ml cup good for?
It is a personal tasting cup, well matched to gongfu-style brewing where a small bowl receives several short infusions of oolong, pu-erh, black, or white tea. It is also a comfortable size for a single serving of coffee or herbal tea.
