Exquisite Hand-painted Gold Deer Ceramic Chawan for Gongfu Tea Tasting
This handcrafted ceramic chawan (品茗杯 / Chinese tea tasting cup) is designed for the refined practice of Gongfu tea, bringing the elegance of traditional Chinese tea culture to your daily routine or gatherings. Each cup features hand-finished gold detailing of natural landscape motifs, with one-of-a-kind variations across four distinct styles.
Design & Artistic Details
The cup showcases a beautiful gradient deep teal body paired with a soft blue base glaze, complemented by hand-finished gold illustrations of graceful deer, trees, flying birds, and mountain rocks. The inner rim and body are finished in clean glossy white, with a subtle warm brown edge detail that adds quiet sophistication.
In Chinese culture, the deer (‘lu’ 鹿) carries an auspicious meaning of good fortune, longevity, and prosperity, making this cup as meaningful as it is beautiful. The smooth glazed ceramic offers a warm, comfortable grip, and the compact shape fits perfectly in your hand for slow, intentional sipping.
