Yixing Zisha Hand-Painted Flower-and-Bird Master Teacup

Material & Craftsmanship

Handcrafted from natural Yixing Zisha clay, measuring approximately 8cm (H) × 6cm (Ø). The mineral-rich clay is traditionally kiln-fired to a deep purple-brown hue with a smooth, warm texture. Features exquisite overglaze hand-painted designs: a colorful bird perched on a branch with multi-hued feathers in green, yellow, and blue, accompanied by blooming pink flowers and emerald green leaves, showcasing perfect integration of Zisha artistry and traditional brush painting.

Shape Design

Classic master teacup form with a rounded body and slightly flared rim for optimal drinking comfort. The circular base ensures stable placement. Ergonomically designed wall thickness provides excellent heat retention and a secure grip.

Symbolic Meaning

In Chinese culture, flower-and-bird motifs symbolize natural harmony and vitality, representing beauty and good fortune. The bird embodies freedom and joy, while flowers denote prosperity and happiness. Ideal for gifting to tea connoisseurs, art collectors, or international friends as a carrier of Oriental aesthetics.

User Experience

The porous Zisha clay with dual-pore structure maintains tea temperature and enhances aroma. Gradual tea nurturing develops a smooth, oily patina, deepening the color and enriching the artwork's vibrancy over time.

Scene & Value

Perfect for Chinese tea ceremonies, study rooms, tea house displays, and business gifting. Both a functional daily teacup and a cultural art piece embodying Eastern floral-and-avian aesthetics, with practical and collectible value.
