Cloud Motif

This 100% hand-painted Jingdezhen Ya Shou Cup features a five-clawed dragon in underglaze red, drawn entirely with line work—no fill, just outlined scales that make the body seem alive. It coils around a ground of solid, saturated underglaze blue clouds, creating a striking contrast between empty line and dense color. Inside, a single red cloud sits at the center of an otherwise white interior. 

Perfectly sized for daily Gongfu tea sessions, this artisan teacup holds 3.4 fl oz when full, with an ideal tasting capacity of 2.0–2.4 fl oz. Thrown by hand in Jingdezhen and fired at high temperatures, it bears a traditional four-character mark on the base. This piece is one-of-a-kind—only one available.
