Jingdezhen Blue & White Baoxianghua Gongfu Tea Set – Horseshoe Cups | Gift Box | 5-Piece

Jingdezhen Blue & White Baoxianghua Gongfu Tea Set – Horseshoe Cups (青花宝相花马蹄)

The Baoxianghua (宝相花) — the “Treasured Auspicious Flower” — is one of the most refined and spiritually significant motifs in Chinese decorative art. A stylised composite bloom drawing from the lotus, peony, and chrysanthemum, it appears on the finest Tang, Song, and Ming dynasty ceramics as a symbol of purity, nobility, and divine blessing. Symmetrical, endlessly repeating, and deeply meditative, it is a pattern that rewards slow looking.

Crafted in Jingdezhen, this set pairs the Baoxianghua with the classic Horseshoe Cup (马蹄杯, Mǎ Tí Bēi) — a form whose gently flared rim and stable base echo the elegant proportions of Ming and Qing dynasty scholar’s ware. Rendered in deep cobalt blue on luminous white porcelain, the result is a set of quiet authority and lasting beauty. Presented in an elegant gift box, ready to give.
