What Our Clients Say

This stunning tea cup is a faithful replica of the famous Yongle Ya Shou Bei (永乐压手杯), renowned for its robust shape and imperial presence, first created in the Jingdezhen imperial kilns during the Yongle period of the Ming dynasty. Handmade and fully hand-painted by a skilled Jingdezhen artist, this cup showcases meticulous craftsmanship and traditional artistry.

What sets this particular cup apart is its use of underglaze red (釉里红) as a decorative element. Originally created in the Yuan dynasty, underglaze red is one of the most difficult techniques to master due to its reliance on copper oxide as a coloring agent. This technique involves painting the desired patterns onto the clay body, applying a layer of clear glaze, and then firing it at high temperatures (around 1300°C) in a reducing atmosphere. The process is delicate, with slight variations in temperature resulting in either color loss or the darkening of the red pigment.

The perfect flowing red was often priceless. The slight greenish hue in our underglaze red is a natural outcome of the incredibly complex firing process, adding a layer of natural beauty that makes each piece distinct.

The cup’s interior features a delicate floral motif (花心), symbolizing elegance and grace. The exterior is adorned with intricate floral patterns rendered using the underglaze red pigment, imitating the rich, deep color that is characteristic of this challenging technique. The result is a vibrant and striking visual design that symbolizes prosperity and vitality.

The substantial weight and thick body of the cup evoke the grandeur of imperial craftsmanship, while the floral motifs flow gracefully around its surface, embodying the harmony and prosperity associated with the Yongle period.

This 110ml tea cup pairs wonderfully with your Yixing teapot, enhancing your tea sessions with its historical elegance and artisanal beauty. Whether you are enjoying tea alone or hosting a gathering, this cup brings a touch of imperial grace to your tea table.
