About This Chinese Tea Cup

Blending traditional Chinese aesthetics with modern craftsmanship, this hand-finished ceramic Chinese tea cup brings a touch of Eastern poetic charm to your daily tea ritual. Adorned with a graceful golden deer motif set against a natural gradient landscape, this small gongfu tea tasting cup is as much a piece of cultural art as it is a practical vessel for enjoying your favorite teas.

Key Features of This Chinese Tea Cup

• Unique Gradient Glaze Finish: The cup exterior features a smooth natural gradient transitioning from deep navy blue at the base, through rich forest green with subtle natural speckled texture, to soft sky blue at the rim. Each cup has a one-of-a-kind finish that evokes the quiet depth of misty Chinese mountains.
• Symbolic Artistic Design: In Chinese culture, the deer (lu) is a beloved symbol of good fortune, longevity, and prosperity. The hand-finished golden deer and landscape motif pops beautifully against the dark gradient glaze, creating a striking visual contrast that brings the scene of “deer roaming misty mountains” to life. Choose from 4 distinct landscape designs to match your personal taste.
• High-Quality Ceramic Material: Fired from premium Chinese porcelain clay, this tea cup has a smooth food-safe white glaze interior that is non-porous, easy to clean, and chemically stable — it won’t alter the natural flavor of your tea. Ceramic also offers better heat retention than glass, keeping your tea at the ideal drinking temperature longer.
• Perfect Size for Gongfu Tea Tasting: With a 70ml (2.4oz) capacity and dimensions 6.2cm (2.44in) diameter x 6.7cm (2.64in) height, this small cup is perfectly sized for traditional gongfu cha tea service, allowing you to fully appreciate the aroma and flavor of your tea without letting it cool too quickly. It fits comfortably in your hand for a relaxed sipping experience.
