Authentic High-White Porcelain Underglaze Swimming Koi Master Teacup - 85ml Gongfu Cup
The ClayZenith High-White Porcelain Underglaze Swimming Koi Master Teacup (85ml) is formed from ultra-pure Jingdezhen high-white kaolin. Featuring freehand ink-wash brushwork depicting a swimming red koi (*Jinli*), the fish appears to swim realistically beneath golden tea liquor.
High-White Kaolin Reduction & Vitrified Clear Inlay
Fired in reduction kilns at 1,320°C. Pure mineral pigments are sealed permanently beneath a crystal-clear vitreous glaze, ensuring the swimming koi artwork will never fade, scratch, or absorb tea oils (<0.1% porosity).
Living Space Integration & Multi-Purpose Uses
- Playful Sensory Tea Tasting: Watch the red koi swim into lifelike view as amber tea liquor fills the cup.
- Dedicated Master Tasting Cup: Accentuates delicate floral and vegetal sweetness in green, white, and high-mountain oolong teas.
