Tea Cup: Celadon Porcelain with Lotus & Koi Designs

Choose a lotus or one of two koi designs for a small porcelain cup with a soft celadon palette. The ovanyu Celadon Lotus & Koi Cup has a comparatively straight-sided, taller profile, giving the decoration room around the body. The three options share the same general color family, so a mixed group can still feel coordinated. Select the image that appeals to you for a personal cup, or combine designs across the tea table while keeping the brewing vessel simple.

• A shared celadon palette: The soft green ground brings the three designs into the same visual family. This makes it possible to mix motifs while keeping a consistent color direction, particularly alongside plain porcelain, darker pottery, or natural wood.
• Three distinct motifs: Lotus, Koi — Tail Sweep, and Koi — Turning Head offer different decorative views. Select the named option you want to receive; the listing price is for one cup in that design, rather than a group of all three.
• A taller cup profile: The straight-sided body gives the cup a more upright outline than an open conical tasting cup. The decoration reads around this vertical surface, making the exterior an important part of the presentation between pours.
• Made for small poured servings: Use the cup to receive tea brewed in a separate gaiwan or teapot. Small portions make it easy to serve successive infusions and return to the brewing vessel as the session develops, rather than preparing one large drink at the outset.
• Easy to build into your own setting: A single tasting cup lets you choose the drinking piece independently of the brewer. Match the palette across the table, or use this design as a personal cup among a mixed group. Other photographed teaware is styling context and is not included.

• Brand: ovanyu
• Material: Porcelain
• Available options: Lotus, Koi — Tail Sweep, Koi — Turning Head
• Included: One tasting cup in the selected design
• Care: Hand wash gently; dry fully before storage.

1. Prepare the cup: Rinse before first use and place it on a stable tray or table. If you warm the cup with hot water, empty that water carefully before serving tea.
2. Pour a small serving: Brew the tea separately and pour below the rim, leaving space to lift and sip comfortably. Use a serving pitcher when you want to divide one infusion among several cups.
3. Taste and refill: Let very hot tea cool to a comfortable drinking temperature. Refill with the next infusion when ready; the cup itself is a serving vessel, so leaves need not remain inside it.
4. Clean and dry: Hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Rinse away soap thoroughly and let the cup dry before storage. Avoid abrasive pads on glazed or decorated surfaces.

Q: Is this a regular full-size mug?
A: No. This is a small tasting cup for poured servings in a gongfu-style tea session. Choose it for successive small portions, rather than expecting the volume of a large breakfast mug.

Q: Can I use it for different kinds of tea?
A: Yes. It serves tea that has already been brewed, so you can use it with the loose-leaf teas you enjoy. Choose water temperature and steeping time for the tea in the separate brewing vessel.

Q: Are a teapot and other accessories included?
A: The listing includes one cup in the selected design. Teapots, trays, mats, and other objects shown around it provide examples of a tea setting and are not included with the cup.

Q: How should I care for the finish?
A: Gentle hand washing is recommended, using a soft sponge rather than abrasive cleaners. Avoid knocking the rim against other pieces, and allow the cup to dry before stacking or putting it away.
