{"product_id":"silver-lotus-handcrafted-silver-wire-enamelled-fengling-teacup","title":"Silver Lotus | Handcrafted Silver-Wire Enamelled Fengling Teacup","description":"\u003cp\u003eSilver Lotus brings intricate silver-wire and enamel-colour decoration to the Fengling teacup (風鈴杯), a traditional Chinese cup form named after the balanced silhouette of a wind chime. Handcrafted in Dehua from Ru ware ceramic, the cup has a tall, softly rounded body that narrows towards a compact foot, while its gently flared rim creates a comfortable drinking edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decoration centres on the traditional scrolling lotus motif (纏枝蓮). Interconnected blossoms, curling leaves and continuous vines extend around the exterior, following the upright form of the cup. The lotus is traditionally associated with purity, integrity and renewal in Chinese art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining technique is silver-wire enamel decoration (掐絲銀彩), a ceramic interpretation of the meticulous wire-and-enamel methods associated with Chinese cloisonné. Fine silver wire is shaped and applied by hand to establish the contours of the lotus blossoms, curling vines and ornamental borders. Each line forms a delicately raised boundary across the ceramic surface rather than a printed outline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnamel colours are carefully arranged within the wire-defined sections. The technique brings together fine metalwork, painted colour and ceramic firing, requiring careful control to preserve the clarity of the silver outlines and the separation of each colour. Viewed closely, the raised wirework gives the decoration a tactile, jewellery-like depth and catches the light as the cup is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is available in blue or red. The blue style has a cooler, more restrained character, while the red style introduces a warmer contrast against the pale glaze and reflective silver contours. They may be selected individually or together as a coordinated pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fengling teacup is suited to individual tea drinking and measured Gongfu service. Its taller body offers a comfortable hold, while the gently flared rim supports a smooth drinking experience. The pale celadon-toned interior provides a neutral setting in which the colour and clarity of the tea liquor remain visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePresented in fitted gift packaging, Silver Lotus is available as one blue cup, one red cup or a coordinated pair containing one of each colour. The included cup colour and quantity depend on the selected style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Origin: Made in \u003cstrong\u003eDehua\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Product: Ceramic Teacups according to selected style\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandcrafted in Dehua\u003c\/strong\u003e with traditional ceramic-making methods, each with a unique design and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dehua","offers":[{"title":"Blue · Single","offer_id":67654156583064,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red · Single","offer_id":67654156615832,"sku":null,"price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \u0026 Red · Pair","offer_id":67654156648600,"sku":null,"price":430.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/1425\/9096\/files\/1_08c72778-52dc-455b-a69b-83a9daac76ec.jpg?v=1791308695","url":"https:\/\/fungtea.com\/products\/silver-lotus-handcrafted-silver-wire-enamelled-fengling-teacup","provider":"Fung Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
