A resplendent fiery red phoenix sails through the sky around the sides of this large personal teacup, hand-painted on soft white suet jade porcelain.
The phoenix is a highly important symbol of power in Chinese art and culture, and was often used in antiquity to represent the empress. 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 Dragon Porcelain Teacup, sold separately. Dragon-and-Phoenix themed gifts are often given as wedding presents.
