Koi Fish Lotus Ceramic Teacup – Hand-Painted Chinese Landscape Kung Fu Tea Cup
Couldn't load pickup availability

This Koi Fish Lotus Ceramic Teacup is a white porcelain kung fu tea cup holding about 130 milliliters, decorated in hand-painted cobalt blue with scenes from a lotus pond — broad lotus leaves, opening blossoms, seed pods and drifting reeds — and finished with a deep blue line along the rim. Fired at high temperature with a handcrafted glaze, it brings a piece of the blue-and-white painting tradition to a daily tea table.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Lotus: Rising clean from muddy water to bloom on the surface, the lotus is traditionally regarded in Buddhist and Chinese art as a symbol of purity and quiet emergence, and it has been a favored subject of scholars and ceramic painters for centuries. On this cup the blossoms, buds and seed pods are brushed in shades of underglaze blue, some rendered in full wash, others left as fine outlines.
Koi and the pond scene: In Chinese folk belief the koi is traditionally regarded as an emblem of perseverance and achievement, after the carp said to leap the Dragon Gate, and the word for fish sounds like the word for surplus, so koi swimming among lotus leaves form a classic auspicious composition in decorative art. The koi-lotus version of this cup carries that scene; the companion patterns — lotus flower, lotus pod, lotus leaf and mountain views — paint other corners of the same pond.
Blue-and-white craft: Painting cobalt decoration under a clear glaze on white porcelain is a longstanding Chinese ceramic tradition, and the square seal mark on the base continues it, styled after a painter's chop.

Why You'll Love This Teacup
- The 130ml rounded bowl suits both gongfu-style tasting and a longer sit-down cup of green or oolong tea.
- Because each scene is hand-painted and kiln-fired, no two cups carry exactly the same brushwork.
- Ten pattern options let you collect a full lotus pond set or match a cup to each guest.
Care Instructions
Hand-wash the cup with warm water and a soft cloth or sponge; avoid abrasive scrubbers, strong detergents and prolonged soaking, which can dull the glaze and painted surface. Rinse promptly after brewing dark teas to prevent staining, and let the cup dry fully before storing it in a clean, dry cabinet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which design will I receive?
The one you select. The listing offers ten patterns — koi with lotus, lotus flower, lotus pod, lotus leaf, mountain scenes and related views — and each is painted on the same 130ml cup body. The photo shows several versions together to illustrate the range.
Is the cup in the photo sold with the tray and props?
No. The wooden tray and other items in the photos are staging props only; the order includes the teacup itself.
Is 130ml a good size for tea?
It sits between a small gongfu tasting cup and a full mug — enough for several slow sips of oolong or green tea while keeping the aroma close, and proportioned at 7.7cm across the rim for one hand.
Why might my cup look slightly different from the picture?
Each cup is hand-painted and high-temperature fired, so brush density, blue tone and glaze depth vary from piece to piece. That variation is the character of handmade ceramics, not a defect.
Can I use it in a dishwasher or microwave?
Hand-washing is recommended to protect the painted glaze over time, since dishwasher detergents and prolonged heat can dull both the blue decoration and the glossy surface. Keep the cup away from direct flame and sudden temperature shocks, which can crack ceramic.
