A tall porcelain teacup in pale aqua Longquan kiln-style celadon from Zhejiang. Each cup is hand-painted with a willow tree with drooping branches, growing alongside a river interrupted by a few stones. The paint is all one shade of dark ink blue.

A tall cup is best used half full (or half empty.)  Fingers can comfortably clasp the upper empty part of the cup, enjoying not only the cool temperature but also the smooth, jade-like texture of the glaze.
