This Chinese tea cup features an ornate peacock in full display — tail feathers fanning out in vivid blues, golds, and oranges across a cream ceramic body. The design is fired at high temperature, locking the color deep into the glaze so it stays rich and luminous with every use.
At 70ml, it sits in the sweet spot between a tiny gongfu tasting cup and a personal drinking cup — large enough to enjoy slowly, small enough to stay intentional.
The peacock in Chinese culture symbolizes beauty, good fortune, and dignity — making this as meaningful a gift as it is a beautiful one.
A note on 养杯 (yǎng bēi — cup seasoning): Like a cast iron pan, this cup improves with use. Rinsing it with your first few brews of tea allows the glaze to absorb the tea's oils, gradually deepening the cup's color and character over time. A true master's cup.
