Beautifully colored, auspicious patterns abound on this teacup. It features a charming dragon dance pattern with a child motif. ① The "Dragon Dance" (Dragon Dance), a dance to ward off evil and pray for happiness, originated in China during the Han Dynasty, depicting a dragon chasing a jade ("pearl") ball. Nine dancers manipulate long poles attached to the dragon's body. The motif is the dancer leading the dragon with the "pearl" ball. Around the rim: ② A scale pattern (named for its resemblance to fish or snake scales) with triangles arranged horizontally. ③ Peaches, said to bring "immortality" and ward off evil. Triangles were originally believed to have the power to ward off evil, and the scales of fish and snakes are for protection, so the scale pattern is also used as a talisman. Inside: ④ Azure auspicious clouds (rare clouds that appear as a sign of good fortune in Buddhism, etc.). I think any tea will look good in it, but personally, I think oolong tea, white tea, or green tea would suit it better than black tea or black tea. 【Size】 ・Diameter: Approximately 8 cm ・Height: Approximately 6 cm ◆ It will be wrapped in cushioning material and shipped via "Yu-Packet Plus". ◆ Price reduction is not possible for this item only. #nyanpika porcelain tableware #nyanpika cup & saucer/mug #Hoya #Hoya #Bone #China #Auspicious #Good luck #Porcelain #White porcelain #Tea set #Dim sum #Teacup #Tea bowl #Cup #Chinese tea #Sencha #Sencha #Taiwanese tea #China #Free cup #Good luck #Special day #Celebration
