The "Foshou" (佛手), or Buddha's Hand, fruit carries a profound symbolic meaning in Chinese culture. Its name is a beautiful homophone for Fúshòu (福寿), meaning "good fortune and longevity," making it a powerful emblem of auspiciousness and blessings.
This unique tea cup is crafted by blending natural plant ashes with porcelain clay and then firing them together. This process creates a captivating glaze that appears subtly grey with a hint of serene green, all while possessing a beautiful, rich luster. Designed in the distinctive Foshou shape, the cup exudes an elegant and tranquil aura, imbued with a profound sense of Zen.
