A powerful red dragon coils through the clouds over the sea to bring a blessing of rain around the sides of this large personal teacup, hand-painted on soft white suet jade porcelain.

The dragon is a highly important symbol of strength in Chinese art and culture, and was often used in antiquity to represent the emperor. Painted in detail over a base of high-quality Jingdezhen porcelain, this teacup is a finely handcrafted work of art in a classic style. A ring of gold paint loops the cup’s raised foot for a subtle touch of extra refinement.

Matches the Jingdezhen Hand-Painted Phoenix Porcelain Teacup, sold separately. Phoenix-and-Dragon themed gifts are often given as wedding presents.
