Azure Peony

Embrace the regal elegance of Qing Dynasty porcelain with this handcrafted Azure Peony Press-Hand Tea Cup—a tribute to China’s “king of flowers” and a symbol of prosperity.

The Peony Motif: Symbolism of Royalty & Abundance

The cup features a continuous underglaze blue peony scroll (known as lianhua wen in Chinese ceramic art):

• Plump peony blooms (the “flower of wealth & honor”) wrap the curved belly, intertwined with swirling vines and leaves—each petal hand-painted with delicate brushstrokes to mimic the softness of real peonies.

• The interior centers on a matching peony medallion, revealed like a hidden emblem when filled with tea (a classic detail of imperial-era tableware).
