Four petals. One ceremony. The Hand-Painted Petal Underglaze Ceramic Tea Cup Set brings the ancient art of Chinese underglaze painting to your tea table in its most intimate and personal form - the master cup, designed to be held, warmed, and savored in the hands of those who truly love tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Master Cup – A Cup Made for You\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Chinese gongfu tea culture, the master cup (主人杯) is the tea host's own cup - smaller, more personal, and more carefully chosen than the guest cups. It is the cup that stays closest to the ceremony, warmed again and again by the tea, developing over time a patina and a character that belongs to its owner alone. This set of four brings that intimacy to a shared experience: four cups of equal beauty, each one a small work of art, each one an invitation to slow down and pay attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Painted Petal Motif (手绘花瓣)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach cup is individually hand-painted by a skilled artisan, its surface adorned with delicate petal motifs in the underglaze tradition. No two cups are identical - the hand of the painter leaves a subtle, living variation in each piece that makes every cup unique. The petals are rendered with a lightness and spontaneity that speaks of the natural world: a cherry blossom caught mid-fall, a lotus petal resting on still water, a wildflower glimpsed at the edge of a mountain path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnderglaze Craft – Color Fired into the Clay (釉下彩)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnderglaze painting (釉下彩) is one of the most demanding and enduring techniques in Chinese ceramic art - the pigment applied directly to the unfired clay body, then sealed beneath a layer of transparent glaze before firing at high temperature. The result is a color that is not merely on the surface of the cup, but fused into it - vivid, permanent, and safe for daily use. The glaze surface is smooth and luminous, the colors clear and true, the decoration protected for a lifetime of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Perfect Gift for Tea Lovers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPresented in an elegant gift box, this set of four cups is a gift of exceptional thoughtfulness - for the tea lover who has everything, for the friend who deserves something beautiful, for the occasion that calls for a gift with meaning. It is equally at home as a housewarming gift, a wedding present, or a treat for yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThese cups are designed for gongfu-style tea brewing - small sips of concentrated, carefully brewed tea shared among friends. Fill from a gaiwan or teapot via a fairness pitcher, hold the cup in both hands, and take a moment to appreciate the warmth, the color, and the fragrance before you drink. This is tea as a practice of presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Material: Fine ceramic, underglaze painted\u003cbr\u003e\n• Decoration: Hand-painted petal motif\u003cbr\u003e\n• Capacity: 115ml per cup\u003cbr\u003e\n• Set: 4 cups\u003cbr\u003e\n• Presentation: Gift box\u003cbr\u003e\n• Hand wash recommended\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"QIFU TEAHOUSE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44254157897779,"sku":null,"price":148.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/9976\/0691\/files\/7540d0fad525ff57e4ccfc7adefe5343.jpg?v=1777967046","url":"https:\/\/www.qifutea.com\/products\/hand-painted-petal-underglaze-ceramic-tea-cups-set-of-4-gift-box-115ml-each","provider":"QIFU TEAHOUSE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
