Handmade Jianzhan Ceramic Tea Cup with a Gold or Silver Lotus Medallion
Couldn't load pickup availability

A compact tasting cup for the kung fu tea tray, this Jianzhan ceramic tea cup holds about 80 milliliters and puts a single raised lotus medallion—struck in gold or silver—at the center of a deep blue crystalline glaze. Streaks of lighter blue fan out from the flower across the bowl's interior, while the outer wall stays a quiet dark tone. It is sized for short, repeated pours and comes in three listed versions.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Lotus medallion: In Chinese and Buddhist decorative tradition the lotus—opening clean above muddy water—has long stood for purity and quiet emergence. On this cup the flower is not painted but modeled as a small raised disc at the bottom of the bowl, so tea swirls around it with every pour.
Crystalline Jianzhan glaze: The blue, star-burst patterns come from crystals that form as the glaze cools in the kiln. Because this growth is part of the firing, the Jianzhan tradition produces a different crystalline layout on every cup rather than a repeated printed design.
Product Details
- Item Type: Cup
- Size: 8.6cm*5cm*80ml(Diameter*Height)
- Material: Ceramic
- Cup capacity: 80 milliliters
- 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.
Note:
1. Measurements are taken by hand, so expect a slight deviation.
2. Each cup is handmade from natural materials and may show minor irregularities; lighting and screen settings can make the glaze colour look slightly different from the pictures.
Why You'll Love This Tea Cup
- The 80 ml volume is deliberately small: it empties in a sip or two, which keeps oolong and pu-erh liquor warm and lets you taste each steep on its own.
- Choose between a gold or a silver lotus medallion to match the rest of your tea set.
- The crystalline glaze gives every cup a genuinely different pattern, so a pair on the tray never looks identical.
Care Instructions
- Rinse soon after use; tea stains settle fast on a shallow tasting cup.
- Hand-wash only, using a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent. Do not scrub the raised medallion with abrasive pads.
- Avoid the dishwasher, the microwave, and pouring boiling water into a chilled cup.
- Air-dry completely, then store upright in a clean, dry spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the lotus gold or silver on the cup I receive?
Whichever version you select at checkout—both a gold-medallion and a silver-medallion option are listed. The lotus itself is the same molded disc on each; only its metallic finish changes.
How small is an 80 ml tea cup in practice?
It is a tasting size. The cup measures about 8.6 cm across and 5 cm tall and holds 80 milliliters, roughly two or three small sips—intended for sipping alongside a gongfu brewer rather than drinking a full mug of tea.
Will the blue crystalline pattern match the listing photo exactly?
Expect the same overall look—blue crystalline field, centered lotus—but not the identical pattern. The star-like streaks grow during firing, and the listing notes that each cup's glaze varies slightly while keeping a consistent appearance.
How do I keep the metallic medallion from dulling?
Skip dishwasher detergent and scouring pads. Rinse after use, wash gently by hand, dry fully, and store the cup where the interior is not rubbed by other pieces.
