This is a fully handcrafted master’s cup from Jingdezhen. It features an Underglaze Blue base, upon which a dynamic dragon is painted weaving through clouds—its scales rendered in distinct layers and the cloud patterns flowing gracefully. Accents of Iron Red on the dragon’s body bring the design to life in a single stroke, imbuing the dragon with an aura of regal majesty and vivid vitality.
The cup boasts a full, gentle shape and a porcelain body as white and luminous as jade, offering a comfortable grip. Ideal for daily tea enjoyment, it also stands as a collectible work of ceramic art, prized for its distinctive dual-glaze craftsmanship and the auspicious dragon motif.
In Chinese culture, the dragon depicted on this cup is a symbol of imperial authority, prosperity, and auspicious fortune. Unlike the fire-breathing, fearsome dragons of Western legend, Chinese dragons are revered as benevolent guardians that bring rain, harmony, and stability to the world. The swirling clouds surrounding the dragon represent upward progress and the bridge between heaven and earth, imbuing your tea ritual with a sense of timeless cultural wisdom.
The Underglaze Blue and Iron Red dual technique is a hallmark of Jingdezhen’s ceramic mastery:
• Underglaze Blue: Applied to the porcelain body before glazing and fired at 1300°C, this ancient method ensures the blue color remains vivid and scratch-resistant for centuries, preserving the artistry for generations.
• Iron Red: A low-temperature red glaze made from iron oxide, it adds bold, contrasting accents to the dragon’s details. This delicate, two-step firing process requires exceptional skill, making each cup a unique work of art.
Together, the dragon motif and dual craftsmanship transform this cup from a tea vessel into a piece of living heritage—one that connects you to China’s 1,000-year porcelain tradition with every sip.
