This is a porcelain cup with a capacity of 50 ml, designed with classic, vibrant patterns. The decorations feature red flowers and a distinctive rooster, which holds cultural significance in traditional Chinese tea culture.
The design of the "chicken cup" is rooted in Ming Dynasty history, where cups with depictions of chickens, hens, and roosters symbolized prosperity, fertility, and protection. The rooster is seen as a guardian figure, offering blessings of luck and good fortune. Such cups were highly valued in Chinese society, cherished as both functional tea vessels and art collectibles.
