Dragon Bamboo Ceramic Tea Cup Bowl with a Hand Painted Motif for Kung Fu Tea
Couldn't load pickup availability

The Dragon Bamboo Ceramic Tea Cup Bowl is a high-fired ceramic cup made for kung fu tea. The main version shown carries a raised lotus bloom that spreads across the face of the bowl, its petals catching warm coppery highlights against a deep, dark handcrafted glaze. The listing offers eight motif and size options, from a 60 ml lotus pod cup to a 140 ml landscape or dragon cup, so the same sculptural, handle-free shape can serve as a daily tasting cup or a quiet desk-side display piece.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Lotus: Rising clean from muddy water to open on the surface, the lotus is traditionally regarded in Buddhist and South Asian traditions as a symbol of purity and quiet emergence. On this cup the bloom is modelled in relief across the body, so the flower wraps around the bowl as you hold it.
Auspicious Dragon: In Chinese folk belief the dragon is traditionally regarded as a symbol of power, authority and good fortune, and the variant is named for that auspicious association. Its coiled form is worked into the surface of that version of the cup.
Bamboo and landscape: Bamboo and mountain-and-water scenes are classic subjects in Chinese ceramic and painting traditions, used here as design motifs; bamboo is rendered as slender stalks and leaves on its version, and the landscape option carries a scenic relief on its larger 140 ml body.

Note: These cups are fired at high temperatures by authentic and experienced artisans. The fired pattern will vary due to changes in temperature, humidity and similar factors, and slight variation may occur in colour, size and design, enhancing the individual artistic character of each piece. Measurements are taken by hand, so a slight deviation may occur, and colours may look slightly different from the picture due to lighting and screen settings.
Why You'll Love This Tea Cup
- Sized for kung fu tea: small 60-140 ml capacities suit short, repeated infusions of oolong, pu-erh or black tea, letting you taste each steep as it changes.
- Sculptural relief surface: the raised lotus, dragon, bamboo or landscape work gives the cup a tactile, three-dimensional look rather than a flat printed image.
- Hand-fired individuality: because each cup is fired by hand, glaze tone and pattern vary slightly from piece to piece, so no two cups are identical.
Care Instructions
Rinse the cup with warm water after use and let it air dry; for tea stains, use a soft cloth or sponge and avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the glaze. Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes, and handle the rim and relief edges with care during washing and storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I choose for kung fu tea?
Pick by how much you like to drink per steep. The 60-70 ml versions (Lotus Pod, Lotus Leaf, small Lotus) are classic gongfu tasting sizes for strong oolong and pu-erh; the 100 ml Bamboo suits a longer, relaxed pour; and the 130-140 ml Lotus, Landscape and Auspicious Dragon cups work if you prefer a fuller cup of tea.
Is the design painted on or raised on the surface?
The motifs are worked into the surface and finished with a handcrafted glaze, so the lotus, dragon, bamboo and landscape designs read as sculpted relief with light and shadow, not a flat print. Because each piece is hand-fired, the pattern and glaze tone vary slightly from cup to cup.
Do I get the tea pot or tray shown alongside the cup?
No. The cup itself is what is included; any other tea accessories shown are photo props only and are not part of this listing.
Will two cups of the same motif look identical?
Expect close similarity, not a perfect match. The artisan firing process means colour, pattern and size can vary slightly between pieces, which is part of the individual character of hand-fired ceramics.
