Authentic Jingdezhen Hand-Painted Polychrome Lotus Scroll High-Foot Master Tasting Cup - 70ml Gongfu Teacup
Authentic Jingdezhen Hand-Painted Polychrome Lotus Scroll High-Foot Master Tasting Cup - 70ml Gongfu Teacup
The ClayZenith Jingdezhen Polychrome Lotus Scroll High-Foot Master Cup (70ml) is modeled in the classical Gaofu Bei (High-Foot Stem Cup) silhouette of Ming Dynasty court banquets. Handcrafted in Jingdezhen from high-fire porcelain, this chalice features vibrant hand-painted mineral enamel lotus scrolls (Chanzhi Lian) framed by an elevated, heat-insulated stem foot.
High-Foot Ergonomics & Vitrified Porcelain Purity
Fired at 1,320°C (2,408°F), the vitreous white porcelain body provides complete non-porosity. The elevated stem base allows fingers to hold the cup comfortably without touching the hot lower bowl, while the flared lip delivers tea liquor smoothly across the palate for refined olfactory appreciation.
Living Space Integration & Gifting
- Formal Tea Banquets: Elevated stem profile adds ceremonial grandeur to the tea table.
- Open Credenza Display: Vibrant polychrome lotus scrollwork provides imperial color depth on display shelving.
- Celebratory Gifting: Presented in a silk brocade gift vault, ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.
Feng Shui & Spatial Energy Balance
The High-Foot Stem (Gaofu) symbolizes Elevation, High Status, and Ascending Career Fortune, while the lotus represents purity and continuous blessing. Displaying stem cups in the south (fame) or north (career) sectors stimulates professional recognition and positive reputation.
