Lotus Pod Ceramic Kung Fu Tea Cup with Hand Painted Enamel for Tea Rituals
Couldn't load pickup availability

The Lotus Pod Ceramic Kung Fu Tea Cup is a small handle-free tasting cup of about 80 ml, its rounded body painted by hand with an open lotus blossom, a green seed pod, a lotus bud, and curling vines over a glossy ground in yellow, sky blue, or deep navy, finished with a petal-lattice band at the foot. Sized for gongfu tea sessions, it sits comfortably between two fingers when poured a single tasting portion.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Lotus blossom: rising clean from muddy water to bloom on the surface, the lotus is traditionally regarded in Buddhist and South Asian traditions as a symbol of purity and quiet emergence, and it has long been a favored subject on Chinese tea wares. Here each cup centers a fully opened blossom on its flank.
Lotus seed pod and bud: in Chinese folk art the lotus (lian) doubles as a homophone for "continuous," and the many-seeded pod is traditionally regarded as an emblem of abundance and unbroken lineage; on this cup the pod and bud trail the blossom along the scrolling vine, following that classic composition.
Hand-painted enamel design: the multicolor enamel decoration is brushed on by hand before the high-temperature firing, so the exact tones and line weight shift slightly from cup to cup — a trait of the craft rather than a flaw.

Why You'll Love This Tea Cup
The 80 ml handle-free shape is the classic gongfu tasting form — small enough to appreciate the aroma, quick to warm with a rinse. The painted lotus scene wraps the whole body, so the cup reads as a piece of decorative art on a tea tray, and the three glaze grounds give collectors an easy reason to pick a second one or gift a set.
Care Instructions
Rinse with warm water after each use; strong tea stains lift with a soft cloth or a mild detergent, and abrasive scrubbers can scratch the painted glaze. Avoid sudden temperature shocks and dishwashers to protect the hand-painted surface, and dry the cup upside down on a rack before storing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the tea tray or any other cup included?
No. The package contains the single cup only; the tray and the other cups shown in the listing photos are photo props and are not included.
Which color should I choose — yellow, blue, or navy?
All three share the same lotus, seed pod, and vine painting and the same 80 ml shape; they differ only in the ground color. The yellow is bright and warm, the sky blue is light and casual, and the deep navy makes the pink blossom and gold vine details stand out most strongly.
Is an 80 ml cup big enough for daily tea?
It is a tasting-size cup, matched to gongfu brewing where several small infusions are poured in sequence. If you prefer a large mug of tea steeped once, this format will feel small; for a proper tea session with a gaiwan or small pot, it is the standard size.
Will the painted design fade or peel with hot water?
The enamel decoration is fired at high temperature, so it is made to hold up to normal brewing use. Hand washing with soft tools and avoiding scouring powders will keep the colors crisp; the dishwasher is not recommended.
Why might my cup look slightly different from the photos?
Each cup is hand-painted and kiln-fired, so the pattern, tones, and line details vary from piece to piece due to changes in firing temperature and humidity. That variation is part of the handmade character of the piece.
