Hand-Painted Golden Eagle Dragon Gilt Ceramic Teacup for Chinese Kung Fu Tea
Couldn't load pickup availability

This Hand-Painted Golden Eagle Dragon Gilt Ceramic Teacup is a footed kung fu tea cup in white porcelain with a bright gold-plated interior and an engraved gilt foot ring. The exterior carries a hand-painted motif that spreads across the cup wall - the main version shows a golden eagle with outstretched wings rising through pale grey mist, painted in warm gold-brown tones above a narrow band of blue and gold ornament. Holding about 180 milliliters, it works as a generous personal brewing cup or a shared pitcher-style server on a tea tray.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Auspicious dragon option: In Chinese tradition the dragon is a mythical creature long regarded as a symbol of power, authority and good fortune, and it is traditionally associated with water and rain. The alternate version of this cup carries that dragon coiling across the same gilt-and-white canvas, used purely as painted ornament.
Golden eagle design: The eagle is rendered as a bold bird-of-prey image - wings fully spread, talons forward, descending through drifting cloud - picked out in gilt tones against a soft ink-wash sky. It is applied here as a decorative painting.
Gilt finish: Gold on porcelain is a longstanding decorative craft in Chinese ceramics. Here the gilding is used in three registers at once: the mirror-bright plated interior, the chased pattern on the raised foot, and the painted gold feathering on the cup wall.

Why You Will Love This Teacup
The gilt interior catches the light every time you lift the cup, while the full-wrap hand painting gives the exterior real visual weight - this is a cup people notice across the table. The 180 ml size covers both brewing and drinking in one vessel, and the raised, engraved foot keeps the hot porcelain comfortable to hold. Because each piece is individually painted and fired, no two cups carry exactly the same pattern.
Care Instructions
- Hand wash with warm water and a soft cloth; abrasive pads and scouring powders will scratch the gold-plated interior and painted gilding.
- Avoid dishwasher detergents and prolonged soaking, which dull gilt surfaces.
- Do not microwave - metal gilding is not microwave-safe.
- Dry fully after washing and store in a dry place away from hard knocks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the two versions?
Same cup, same gilt interior and foot - only the painted exterior differs. The golden eagle version shows a spread-winged eagle through cloud, like the main image; the auspicious dragon version paints a traditional Chinese dragon across the same surface.
Is the inside of the cup actually gold-colored?
Yes. The interior is gold-plated (gilt) over the ceramic, giving a mirror-like gold finish, and the listing material reads Ceramic, Gilt. Treat the plating gently: hand wash only, no scrubbing pads.
Is 180 ml a normal size for a Chinese tea cup?
It is on the generous side. Many gongfu tasting cups hold 50-80 ml; at 180 ml (8.6cm*6.1cm) this cup works as a personal brewing cup you drink straight from, or as a small sharing server poured into tiny cups.
Will my cup look identical to the photos?
Close but not exact. Each cup is hand-painted and kiln-fired, so the sweep of the mist, the placement of gold feathering and small color shifts vary between pieces while the overall design stays the same.
