A fine porcelain filter cup with a sweet design of rabbits underneath a persimmon branch and a full golden moon. This convenient, easy-brewing cup comes with a perforated porcelain filter that can be removed to control the steep time of your leaves. Its warm white porcelain is very smooth and accented with yellow handles.
In Chinese legend, sweet rabbits like these are the only animals that live on the moon. As such, they are the only companions to the princess Chang’e who lives there alone, and are a sign of comfort, peace, and hope.
The persimmon shi (柿) is often a visual pun on the phrase shi shi ru yi (柿柿如意), expressing a desire for all your wishes to come true.
Also comes in a persimmon-only version as the Persimmon Porcelain Filter Cup.
