The ovanyu Celadon Lotus \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA shared celadon palette:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree distinct motifs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA taller cup profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade for small poured servings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to build into your own setting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e ovanyu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Porcelain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lotus, Koi — Tail Sweep, Koi — Turning Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e One tasting cup in the selected design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash gently; dry fully before storage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrepare the cup:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePour a small serving:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste and refill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClean and dry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge.

Choose it for successive small portions, rather than expecting the volume of a large breakfast mug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use it for different kinds of tea?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Are a teapot and other accessories included?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The listing includes one cup in the selected design.

Avoid knocking the rim against other pieces, and allow the cup to dry before stacking or putting it away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ovanyu","offers":[{"title":"Lotus","offer_id":44051202506815,"sku":"OV-781766368704-5341401245222","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Koi — Tail Sweep","offer_id":44051202539583,"sku":"OV-781766368704-5341401245223","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Koi — Turning Head","offer_id":44051202572351,"sku":"OV-781766368704-5341401245224","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/4674\/9759\/files\/ovanyu-20261003-051.jpg?v=1791039377","url":"https:\/\/ovanyu.com\/products\/tea-cup-celadon-porcelain-with-lotus-koi-designs","provider":"榮國輝國際貿易 (香港) 有限公司","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
