White & Green Chinese Tea Cup 50ml
Crafted from red clay, this white and green gongfu tea cup features a delicate spiral design on the exterior and a one-of-a-kind double glaze finish.
This Chinese tea cup is produced through a 2-stage glazing and oven-firing process. In the first stage, the first glaze is applied and then transforms into a white colour when baked in the oven. This process is repeated with a second glaze which adds a distinct green pattern.
These Chinese tea cups have an elegant, natural charm. With a bowl-like shape, the tea cools quickly and is comfortable to hold.

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.
When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.
Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
