This Jianzhan ceramic tea cup takes a taller, straighter shape than a typical wide tasting bowl: a cylindrical body with a gold-trimmed rim, glazed in an iridescent purple that flashes blue-violet where the light catches the crystalline surface. A gold-line lotus is drawn on the face of the cup, its petals opening over the shimmering ground. Holding about 150 milliliters, it works as a full-sized personal tea cup for gongfu sessions or an everyday hot-drink cup.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Golden lotus: The lotus has traditionally been regarded, across Chinese and Buddhist decorative culture, as a symbol of purity and quiet emergence—blooming clean above the mud it grows in. Rendered here as an open gold blossom on the cup's outer wall, the motif sits where it is visible while the cup rests on the table or is lifted for a drink.
Purple crystalline crackle glaze: The radiating crystal streaks form naturally as the Jianzhan-style glaze cools in the kiln, and the crackle pattern differs from firing to firing. In this ceramic tradition each finished cup keeps its own arrangement of light across the purple ground.
Product Details
- Item Type: Cup
- Size: About 9cm*150ml(Diameter*Height)
- Material: Ceramic
- Cup capacity: About 150 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. Figures come from manual measurement and carry a slight deviation.
2. Being handmade from natural materials, each cup may present minor irregularities, and due to lighting and screen differences the colour may vary slightly from the pictures.
Why You'll Love This Tea Cup
- The straight, tall walls hold more liquid than a wide tasting bowl of the same diameter, so the 150 ml cup doubles comfortably as a regular tea or coffee cup.
- The gold lotus and the shifting purple glaze make the cup easy to pick out of a crowded cupboard—it reads as a designed piece, not a plain vessel.
- Kiln-grown crackle means the sheen and pattern you receive will be the cup's own, not a decal repeated across the batch.
Care Instructions
- Hand-wash with warm water, a soft sponge, and mild detergent; rinse tea residue promptly.
- Do not use abrasive scourers or bleach, which can scratch the gold lotus lines and dull the glaze.
- Keep it out of the dishwasher and microwave, and let the cup come to room temperature before adding boiling water.
- Dry completely before storing; keep it upright in a dry cabinet away from dust.
Frequently Asked Questions
What shape is this cup, and how does it feel to hold?
It is a straight-sided tumbler about 9 cm in diameter rather than a flared bowl. The cylindrical walls make it easy to grip around the body, and at about 150 milliliters it holds a full serving instead of a two-sip tasting portion.
Is the purple color painted on?
No. The purple-to-blue shimmer comes from a crystalline Jianzhan-style glaze that develops during firing, including the fine crackle streaks. Because the kiln shapes the surface, the exact pattern varies between cups even though the overall look stays consistent.
Can I drink other beverages from it besides tea?
Yes. It is a general-use ceramic cup of about 150 milliliters, suited to coffee, herbal infusions, or water. As with tea, rinse it after use and avoid abrasive cleaning so the gold lotus linework stays bright.
Will the gold lotus wear off over time?
The linework is on the glazed surface, so gentle hand-washing with a soft sponge will keep it intact for normal home use. Dishwashers, scouring pads, and harsh cleaners are what wear metallic decoration down, so avoid them.
