The Art of the Steep: The Imperial Blossom Hand-Painted Tea Cup

The Art of the Steep: The Imperial Blossom Hand-Painted Tea Cup

A timeless fusion of imperial heritage and artisanal floral craftsmanship.

At GOSEUNG, the tea ceremony is a ritual of focus and beauty. Our Heritage Series Imperial Blossom Tea Cup is more than a vessel—it is a hand-painted tribute to the natural world, designed to bring a sense of spring to every steep.

Hand-Painted Poetry: The Yellow Blossom Motif

The soul of this piece lies in its vibrant artistry. Each cup features a meticulously hand-painted yellow blossom—reminiscent of a winter camellia—nestled against a textured, creamy white porcelain interior. The delicate green foliage meanders toward the "flower-mouth" rim, creating a kinetic sense of growth that mirrors the "quiet perfection of form".

The Specification Matrix: A Delicate Masterpiece

Designed for the nuances of high-mountain oolongs and delicate green teas, this cup offers professional-grade proportions for the discerning collector.

A Ritual of Form and Function

The Imperial Blossom cup is engineered to enhance the sensory experience of tea drinking.

Scalloped "Flower-Mouth" Rim: The edge of the cup is delicately notched into a floral silhouette, providing a unique tactile feel and an elegant aesthetic that complements the interior art.

Imperial Yellow Exterior: The outer surface is finished in a bold, saturated yellow glaze—a color historically associated with vitality and prestige—creating a striking contrast with the organic interior.

Textured Porcelain Canvas: The interior surface features a subtle, stone-like texture that diffuses light beautifully and provides an organic backdrop for the hand-painted petals.

Heritage Presentation: Each cup is housed in a premium gift box adorned with a classical panoramic scene of a traditional pavilion, making it an exceptional choice for luxury gifting.
