Ban Dao Ni Carving
The Ban Dao Ni carving of peonies rests gracefully on the porcelain surface, with the concave round carvings full and rich, symbolizing wealth and auspiciousness.The twelve zodiac signs, outlined by the Linglong glaze, are vividly depicted within these concave rounds.
Linglong Porcelain
Linglong porcelain is a gem of ancient Chinese ceramic art.Through a meticulous carving process, numerous regular"Linglong eyes"are created on the porcelain body.After glazing and firing, these holes become semi-transparent bright spots, making them incredibly aesthetically pleasing and earning them the nickname"porcelain with a glass-like finish."With a long history, Linglong porcelain is one of the four great traditional famous porcelains of Jingdezhen.
Shadow Celadon Glaze-Delicate and Translucent
Made from high-quality kaolin,the glaze is smooth and even, with a delicate and translucent porcelain quality.The cups are elegantly shaped, embodying the beauty of being"as thin as paper, as white as jade, as clear as a mirror, and as resonant as a stone chime."
These"Twelve Zodiac"Linglong Master Cups are not just tea cups; they are a celebration of Chinese heritage and craftsmanship, making them perfect for collectors and tea enthusiasts alike.
