Intertwined Lotus Motif

Heritage & Royal Legacy

This cup is a faithful handcrafted replica of the Yongle Blue-and-White Press-Hand Cup—one of China’s most iconic imperial porcelains, with only 4 original pieces surviving (housed in the Palace Museum, Beijing). The original dates to the Ming Dynasty (1403–1424), a golden age of Chinese porcelain, renowned for its “Su Ma Li Qing” cobalt blue and regal elegance.

• Exterior: Continuous intertwined lotus vines (a symbol of purity & prosperity in Chinese art) wrap the belly, framed by delicate plum blossoms at the rim and scrollwork at the foot.

• Interior: A subtle double-circle border leads to the center (hidden when empty, revealed when filled with tea).
