Immerse yourself in the refined art of Chinese tea cup traditions with our exquisite 45ml Ceramic Tea Cup. Elegantly designed with delicate fish, lotus, and seaweed motifs, this petite vessel embodies centuries of tea wisdom in its carefully crafted form. The authentic ceramic construction ensures your tea's aroma and flavor develop to their fullest potential.

Each gongfu tea ceremony deserves vessels that honor the ritual's heritage. This mini tea cup arrives nestled in a beautiful presentation box, making it both a functional brewing vessel and a thoughtful gift for the tea enthusiast in your life.

Artisan Craftsmanship in Every Detail

Crafted by skilled artisans using traditional firing techniques, each cup bears subtle variations that tell the story of its creation. The harmonious composition of aquatic elements symbolizes abundance and prosperity, inviting peaceful contemplation with each sip.

The ceramic tea cup undergoes high-temperature firing that creates a beautiful, impermeable surface while enhancing the intricate painted designs. This meticulous process ensures both aesthetic beauty and practical durability for years of tea enjoyment.

Perfect Size for Traditional Gongfu Brewing

With a capacity of 45ml, this cup is ideally sized for the gongfu tea ceremony, allowing you to appreciate multiple infusions of your favorite oolong, puerh, or other fine teas. The compact dimensions (approx. 2.17 inches × 1.89 inches or 5.5cm × 4.8cm) make it easy to handle while preserving heat and concentrating aromas.

Unlike larger Western teacups, this traditional Chinese tea cup enhances your experience through smaller portions that intensify flavor and encourage mindful drinking. The no-handle design connects you directly with the warmth of your brew.

Symbolic Imagery in Chinese Teaware

The fish, lotus, and seaweed motif carries deep cultural significance in Chinese tea traditions. Fish symbolize abundance and prosperity, while lotus flowers represent purity emerging from muddy waters. Together with flowing seaweed, these elements create a harmonious aquatic scene that invokes tranquility and good fortune.

This meaningful imagery makes our porcelain tea mug not just a vessel for drinking, but a mindful object that elevates your tea ritual with layers of cultural appreciation.
