The Hand Painted Koi Fish Ceramic Teacup is a small, round 50 ml cup glazed in deep teal, with a warm brown edge tracing the rim. Its surprise is inside: a pair of orange-and-white koi hand-painted at the bottom of the bowl, swimming through pale water rings, revealed each time you pour and sip. It is shaped for kung fu and gongfu tea sessions, where a few clean mouthfuls carry the whole character of an infusion.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Koi Fish: In Chinese folk tradition the koi is traditionally regarded as a symbol of perseverance and achievement, and because the Chinese word for fish sounds like the word for surplus, paired koi have long been read as an emblem of abundance and fullness. The two fish circling each other here echo that classic paired-koi composition.
Painted Where You Drink: Placing the fish inside the bowl is a playful touch in the tradition of hidden designs on tea ware and bowls — the scene appears through the liquor as the cup fills and disappears as you sip, turning each round of tea into a small reveal.

Why You'll Love This Teacup
- A design that plays with tea: Because the koi are painted inside the bowl, the scene changes with every pour — the fish seem to swim the moment tea is added.
- Comfortable tasting size: About 50 ml and palm-sized at 6.4 cm across, it matches standard gongfu pours and shows off the color of oolong or pu-erh against the teal glaze.
- Quietly distinctive: The muted teal exterior keeps the look understated, while the painted fish reward whoever lifts the cup.
Care Instructions
- Rinse after each use and wash gently with warm water and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive scrubbing over the painted interior.
- Avoid harsh detergents, microwave and dishwasher use, and sudden extreme temperature changes.
- Wipe the rim dry after rinsing; over time tea can gently darken the warm brown edge, which is normal for handmade tea ware.
- Dry fully before storing in a clean, dry place.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where exactly is the koi painted?
Inside the cup, on the bottom of the bowl. The pair of orange-and-white fish sit within painted water rings, so you see them through the tea as you fill and drink the cup.
How big is the cup and what is it good for?
It measures about 6.4 cm*2.8 cm (2.51 in*1.10 in) and holds about 50 ml (1.76 oz). That is a single-diner tasting size made for kung fu and gongfu tea rounds — small, frequent pours rather than one long mug of tea.
Will the interior painting fade with daily tea use?
The design is hand-painted and fired at high temperature, so it is part of the finished glaze surface rather than a print on top. Gentle hand washing with a soft cloth — no abrasive pads or harsh detergents — keeps the colors clear over years of use.
Does my cup look exactly like the listing photo?
Very similar, but not pixel-identical. Kiln conditions shift from firing to firing, so pattern, tone and brushwork vary slightly between pieces while the overall design stays consistent — each cup is one of a kind.
Is the teapot in the photo included?
No. The other teapots shown are photo props only; the package contains the ceramic tea cup itself.
Note: Cultural references describe traditional beliefs and design inspiration only. They are not claims that the product produces any actual effect.
