This tilted irregular waisted porcelain cup from the Lotus & Crane Collection is fully covered with tawny kiln transformation glaze. The upper rim of the cup body is encircled by embossed gilded interlocking floral ornaments, while the main body is hand-painted with pink lotus flowers, white cranes and shoals of swimming fish, presenting a unique retro silhouette.

Fired with high-temperature porcelain clay from Jingdezhen to form a kiln-flame variegated base glaze, this piece integrates 3D embossed gilding craft together with overglaze new-color hand-painted patterns of lotus, cranes and swimming fish. It undergoes compound kiln firing in separate batches through multiple elaborate procedures.

Lotus flowers stand for harmony and purity; immortal cranes symbolize longevity and wellness; swimming fish represent surplus wealth year after year. The gilded ornamentation further augments blessings of prosperity and good fortune. Ideal for daily tea tasting and premium business gifting.
