Crafted from brilliant white porcelain, this elegant tea cup features intricate patterns meticulously painted with cobalt oxide. When fired, the cobalt transforms into a striking blue, creating the iconic "blue and white" aesthetic that defines this cherished porcelain.
The enchanting Osmanthus tree, one of China's ten most celebrated flowers, holds profound cultural significance. Blooming beautifully during the Mid-Autumn Festival, its fragrant blossoms are often associated with the moon, symbolizing nobility, friendship, auspiciousness, and longevity. This tea cup captures the essence of the Osmanthus tree with its delicate blue and white motif, gracefully depicted on the pristine porcelain. The petal-like rim, the unique octagonal body, and the exquisite handle reminiscent of a floral vine, all perfectly complement the Osmanthus's character of refined elegance and purity.
