Description
This oriental art tasting cup is fully handcrafted by senior master potters from Dehua porcelain capital, combining classic Dunhuang mural Flying Apsaras culture and dreamy starry nebula kiln craft.
Made of thick granular rough mineral rock clay, multi-layer natural mineral pigment is coated and fired under ultra-high temperature, forming random mottled sapphire blue, crimson and off-white nebula texture all over the cup surface, dotted with scattered genuine gold flakes that glisten like distant stars in the galaxy.
Natural kiln variation and hand sculpting ensure zero identical cups, every single piece is an unrepeatable limited cultural art collectible.
The core highlight is hand-carved three-dimensional raised Dunhuang Flying Apsaras relief.
The fairy’s body is outlined with gilded finish, matched with layered hand-painted red, blue, green long silk ribbons flowing freely, restoring the elegant ethereal charm of ancient Dunhuang frescoes.
Irregular hand-thrown uneven cup body retains raw wabi-sabi handmade texture, thick porous clay wall locks mild heat to fully release layered tea aroma, and forms smooth warm natural patina after long-term daily brewing.
Matte dark clay inner wall prevents tea stain buildup, easy to wipe clean.
With a 6.8 fl oz (200ml) moderate palm capacity, it works well for oolong, pu-erh, white tea, black tea and herbal tea.
Comes with a vintage floral printed fabric-lined gift box with shockproof soft liner, ideal for quiet solo tea time, oriental desktop decor, and premium cultural gift for tea lovers, Dunhuang art enthusiasts and pottery collectors.
