The porcelain tea cup has a gently rounded bowl, a low foot, and a broad, comfortable rim. Its compact shape suits small pours, while the blue, red, and pale green decoration brings an easy, cheerful accent to everyday tea.
Small tea cups are a standard part of Chinese tea ware, used to receive brewed tea and pass its colour and aroma to the drinker. In a gongfu setting, cups are filled in sequence and held by the rim or foot.
This piece is made in China from glazed porcelain, with a white ground and painted floral bands framing the softly patterned body. Rinse after use and dry fully before storing to keep the surface clear.
