Celadon White Porcelain Covered Tea Cup and Saucer

Jingdezhen Porcelain Chinese Tea Cup

Formed from fine bone china, this Jingdezhen porcelain Chinese tea cup pairs luminous color with a clean, high-gloss glaze. Its slender profile and careful detailing create a piece that feels equally at home in daily tea use and in a decorative display, with workmanship that leans toward graceful artistry rather than plain utility.

The lidded design also brings a practical benefit: it helps hold in warmth and keeps the fragrance of the brew focused as you sip. Thanks to the 500 ml (16.9 oz) capacity, the cup offers enough space for loose-leaf tea to open naturally, making it a pleasant choice for relaxed tasting sessions, gongfu-style sharing, or an unhurried tea break.

Four painted scenes are offered, and each one carries its own mood and symbolism:

• Fish in Harmony: Two spirited fish swim through clear water, forming a traditional wish for abundance and good luck. The lid is decorated with aquatic plants, while the detailed scales make the scene look lively and full of movement.
• Tranquil Sanctuary: A small bridge stretches over a gentle stream, with houses, trees, and a lone boat building a quiet pastoral setting. The man and his dog add a touch of everyday warmth, turning the scene into an image of calm leisure.
• Shepherd’s Joy: A carefree boy rides across the countryside on a strong bovine, capturing the easy happiness of rural life. The composition feels playful and open, like a brief moment of freedom frozen in porcelain.
• Flourishing Prosperity: Peonies in bloom and swallows circling back suggest a thriving home and a bright future. Clusters of buds and blossoms surround the cup, giving it a richer, more celebratory visual rhythm.

Measuring 13.5 cm (5.3″) in diameter and 14.5 cm (5.7″) in height, this tea cup has a substantial presence without losing its refined outline. It will sit beautifully on a tea tray, in a cabinet, or on open shelving, where the bright glaze and painted motifs can be enjoyed from a distance or up close.

As a collectible, it offers more than function: the combination of Jingdezhen craftsmanship, auspicious imagery, and elegant porcelain makes it a meaningful keepsake for tea enthusiasts. It also works well as a gift for birthdays, weddings, housewarmings, festivals, or any occasion where a culturally inspired present feels especially thoughtful.
