The high-footed porcelain cup raises its landscape bowl above the table, leaving the fingers clear of the tea and presenting the decoration at eye level. Its broad, open rim makes it inviting for fragrant tea served in a shared or individual setting.
High-footed cups are a recognised Chinese ceramic form, used historically for drinking and serving and seen in porcelain traditions from the imperial period onward. At a modern gongfu table, the raised stem gives the cup a formal presence between pours.
This Chinese porcelain cup combines blue-and-white mountain scenery with a geometric blue stem, all beneath a clear glaze. The separate foot also keeps the bowl elevated from the surface. Rinse gently after use and dry before storing.
