Hand-Painted Ceramic Kung Fu Teacup with a Dragon or Phoenix Floral Design
Couldn't load pickup availability

This Hand-Painted Ceramic Kung Fu Teacup is a small flared tasting cup whose outer wall carries a sculpted, raised-relief mythical bird or dragon rendered in crisp white, set against a dense bed of hand-painted pink, blue, and green blossoms and finished with a polished gold band around the foot. Holding about 50 milliliters, it is sized for a single generous sip in a gongfu tea setting, and the dragon and phoenix versions are made to be collected as a pair.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Dragon: In Chinese art the dragon is traditionally regarded as a creature of power, authority, and auspiciousness, long associated with water and with the yang principle. On the dragon version its body coils through the painted flowers in sculpted relief rather than flat brushwork.
Phoenix (Fenghuang): The fenghuang of Chinese tradition is held to be the king of birds, traditionally a sign of cultivated virtue and good times to come. Here its wings and trailing tail feathers are modeled in white relief that rises above the glaze, so the design can be felt as well as seen.
Dragon-and-phoenix pairing: The two creatures are classically paired in Chinese decorative arts — a longstanding emblem of matched opposites seen on wedding textiles and celebration ware — which is why this cup is offered in two coordinated versions intended to sit together on one tray.

Why You'll Love This Tea Cup
The raised-relief work gives the cup a genuinely tactile surface — the creature's feathers or scales stand proud of the floral ground — which plain printed cups cannot match. The 50 ml flared shape cools tea quickly to drinking temperature and shows the liquor against a clean white interior, and the gilded foot adds a dressing-table level of detail to a tea tray.
Care Instructions
Hand-rinse with warm water and a soft cloth; the relief texture catches residue, so avoid scouring pads and harsh detergents that can scratch the glaze or thin the gold band. Do not soak or machine-wash. Dry fully and store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the relief design raised to the touch, or printed flat?
Raised. The dragon or phoenix figure is built up in relief on the cup wall before glazing, so you can feel its outline against the painted flowers — this is what the listing describes as raised relief with gold trim.
Do I receive one cup or the pair shown?
One cup per order, in the motif you select — dragon or phoenix. The tea tray and the other cup in the listing photos are props and are not included, so order both versions if you want the paired display.
What does 4.5cm*5.3cm feel like in the hand?
It is a true palm cup: roughly 4.5 cm wide at the base and 5.3 cm tall, holding 50 milliliters. It sits cupped in two fingers like a standard kung fu tasting cup rather than holding a full mug's worth of tea.
Why might my cup differ slightly from the photo?
Each cup is hand-painted and fired at high temperature, where kiln conditions shift the final color and pattern a little. Small variations in tone, stroke, and size are expected between pieces and are part of the handmade character noted in the listing.
