Yixing Zisha Handmade "Good Persimmon & Peanut" Auspicious Teacup

Material & Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from natural Yixing Zisha clay, measuring approximately 6.5cm (H) × 7.5cm (Ø). The clay contains natural mineral particles, kiln-fired to a warm creamy beige with a smooth finish. Features overglaze hand-painted designs of plump persimmons (with green leaves), peanuts, and pink buds, with vibrant color gradients showcasing Zisha artistry blended with traditional painting.

Shape Design

Classic cylindrical body with a bamboo-joint arched handle for ergonomic grip. One side displays the "Good Persimmon & Peanut" theme: orange-red persimmons symbolize harvest, brown-yellow peanuts represent longevity, complemented by green foliage and pink buds in a balanced composition. A ring foot ensures stable placement.

Symbolic Meaning

"Persimmon" (柿) homophones with "affairs" (事) in Chinese, while peanuts denote "long life"—together conveying "good things happen and life is fulfilling." Ideal for gifting to tea lovers, newlyweds, elders, or international friends as a cultural blessing.

User Experience

The porous Zisha clay gradually develops a golden, oily patina through tea nurturing, enhancing the artwork’s warmth over time. The bamboo-joint handle offers anti-slip comfort and excellent aroma retention, elevating tea rituals.

Scene & Value

Perfect for daily brewing, tea ceremony displays, study room décor, and business gifting. Both a functional teacup and a collectible embodying agrarian culture and auspicious aesthetics, merging utility with cultural heritage.
