The Yue Celadon Lotus Tea Cup combines the gentle tone of celadon with the timeless beauty of a traditional scrolling lotus motif.
Measuring approximately 7.4 cm in diameter and 5.8 cm in height, with a capacity of around 130 ml, the cup has a balanced size for personal tea drinking. Its softly rounded form sits naturally in the hand, while the restrained silhouette allows the celadon glaze and lotus decoration to remain the visual focus.
The scrolling lotus pattern flows continuously around the body, with blossoms connected by graceful vines. The soft celadon glaze provides a calm background for the decoration, creating a harmonious balance between traditional ornament and contemporary tea-table aesthetics.
Designed for everyday tea drinking as well as display, the cup offers a small but expressive connection to the beauty of traditional Chinese ceramics.

The lotus carries deep symbolic meaning in traditional Chinese culture.
Because it emerges from muddy water while remaining pure, the lotus has long been associated with purity, elegance, and refined character. The continuously flowing vines of the scrolling lotus motif also suggest continuity, flourishing growth, and enduring good wishes.
The scrolling lotus is one of the classic decorative motifs found throughout traditional Chinese art, appearing in ceramics, textiles, architecture, and painting.
By bringing this traditional motif into a personal tea cup, the piece connects the everyday ritual of tea with a broader cultural heritage. Each cup of tea becomes an opportunity to appreciate the lotus's quiet symbolism and the refined beauty of traditional Eastern living.
