Hand-Painted Dunhuang Meditating Buddha Shino Ceramic Teacup for Kung Fu Tea
Couldn't load pickup availability

This Hand-Painted Dunhuang Meditating Buddha Shino Ceramic Teacup is a small kung fu tea cup with a deliberately rustic, organic form. Its lower body keeps a raw earthy brown texture while a glossy Shino style glaze runs over the rim in rust orange, cream white and blue-green streaks, and a gilded seated Buddha figure is worked into the front of the cup. Offered in two sizes - about 75 ml and about 125 ml - it belongs on a tea tray for quiet solo brewing or a slow gongfu session with a friend.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Meditating Buddha: In Buddhist tradition the figure of the Buddha in meditation has long symbolized compassion, stillness and introspection. Here that image appears as a small gilded seated figure on the cup wall - a decorative reference drawn from Buddhist art, applied by hand to each piece.
Dunhuang style painting: The painted treatment follows the Dunhuang cave-art tradition, whose murals are known for serene seated figures and warm earth pigments. The cup borrows that visual language as ornament only.
Shino style glaze: The thick, running glaze pools and breaks over the textured body so that orange, cream and blue-green merge differently on every firing, making each cup's surface its own one-of-a-kind backdrop for the painted figure.

Why You Will Love This Teacup
The combination of raw textured clay, running Shino glaze and a gilded Buddha gives this cup real presence in the hand - no two pieces share the same glaze pattern. The small 75 ml size suits strong oolong and pu-erh tastings, while the 125 ml version works as an everyday tea cup. Its handmade, traditional look also makes it a distinctive gift for tea drinkers and ceramic collectors.
Care Instructions
- Rinse with warm water after use; avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can wear the glaze surface and the gilded figure.
- Hand wash only and dry fully before storing.
- Avoid sudden temperature extremes, such as pouring boiling water into a freezing-cold cup.
- Store in a dry place where the rim and painted figure will not be knocked against hard surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I choose?
Pick by how you drink tea. The Meditating Buddha at about 6cm*6cm*75ml is a classic tasting-sized gongfu cup for short, strong steeps; the Buddha at about 7cm*5.5cm*125ml holds more and suits longer, casual sessions.
Will the glaze pattern match the photo exactly?
No. Each cup is individually made and fired, and the Shino glaze moves differently with temperature and humidity in the kiln, so the blend of orange, cream and blue-green - and its exact placement - varies from cup to cup while the overall look stays consistent.
Is the gold Buddha painted on, and will it come off?
It is part of the hand-applied surface decoration on each cup. With gentle hand washing, no scouring pads and no dishwasher, the gilding holds up well in normal tea use.
What is included when the cup arrives?
You receive the teacup in the size you select. Any tea tray, wooden stand or other accessories shown in the photos are photo props and are not included.
