The porcelain tea cup brings a classic landscape into a tea drinker's hand, with a gently flared rim that guides aroma and makes sipping comfortable. Blue mountains, water, pavilions and a boat turn an everyday cup into a quiet visual pause.
Landscape decoration has a long place in Chinese ceramics, while blue-and-white porcelain became especially established during the Ming period. This cup suits a tea table where each drinker receives a separate serving and can appreciate the changing view around the vessel.
Made in China from light-coloured porcelain, it carries softly varied cobalt brushwork beneath a clear glaze, with a warm pale ground. Rinse after use, dry it well, and avoid sudden temperature changes.
