This is a small porcelain cup with a hand-painted dragon design in blue and white. It has flint-red accents and gold detailing. The dragon is painted to wrap around the curved surface of the cup.
The cup is shaped by hand and each one is hand-painted, so the artwork varies slightly from piece to piece. It is made as a personal cup for gongfu tea, loose-leaf tea, coffee, espresso, warm milk or herbal drinks. It comes in four shapes: Zen Cup, Dragon Egg Cup, Square Cup and Yipin Cup.
In traditional Eastern culture, the dragon is a symbol of dignity, vitality, movement and inner strength.
