The Ancient Moon “Standing Crane” Teacup expresses MonianLife’s quiet, nature-inspired aesthetic through its deep moonlit glaze and poised golden crane. Handcrafted in Dehua, the cup reflects serenity, grounded presence, and the refined simplicity of classical Chinese tea aesthetics.
Formed from Dehua ceramic and finished with a hand-applied colored glaze, each cup undergoes traditional high-temperature firing to achieve its subtle texture and dark, atmospheric tone. The golden standing crane is applied with fine detailing, creating a striking yet understated contrast.
The craftsmanship blends durability with poetic refinement—making each cup unique in color, texture, and presence.
Designed as a 40ml tasting cup, the Standing Crane Teacup suits both Gongfu tea and mindful daily tea moments. The rounded interior helps lift and concentrate aroma, while the smooth rim enhances mouthfeel for oolong, pu’er, green tea, or herbal blends.
Calm, compact, and expressive—it encourages slower rituals and a more attentive connection with tea.
In classical Chinese symbolism, the standing crane represents longevity, inner stillness, and dignified clarity. Against the dark glaze, the golden crane resembles a quiet figure in moonlight—echoing scholar-art traditions and mountain-inspired tea spaces.
Its imagery brings gentle symbolism to each tea moment—an invitation to pause, breathe, and return to presence.
Loved by collectors and tea practitioners for its balance of cultural symbolism and refined craftsmanship, this cup serves as both a daily companion and a meaningful keepsake. Its small-batch nature and expressive glaze make it a standout piece in any tea collection.
I bought these as a gift and my friend was thrilled. She said the nepalese sandalwood fragrance was her new favourite.
There's something exceptionally clean about the mixed scents scent in these. It evokes being in nature: leaves, wood, and earth. I find myself breathing more deeply when it's burning. They burn at a calm, measured pace and the smoke is never too heavy.
It’s a small burner but it feels substantial. The smooth finish is smooth under your fingers. The tripod form emerges as you turn it, revealing new details each time.
The Mount Fuji ripples design is subtle but noticeable. It doesn't distract but rather enhances the overall calm. It feels steady and sits securely.
Wonderful incense sticks
Perfect for meditation
I originally bought this set for myself and ended up gifting another. Each fragrance in the collection, especially coffee, has its own unique personality. I like matching my incense to my mood or the time of year. The sticks burn slowly and evenly and leave only a tiny bit of ash.
I love lighting the Peruvian white sage incense while I practice yoga. The scent is invigorating and helps me stay present.
As a collector of artisanal teaware, this tea cup stands out. The white glaze is rich and deep, and you can see evidence of handwork in every line. It deserves a place on display.
This incense sticks is perfect before bed; oolong tea helps me unwind.
I was drawn to the dragon and waves motif and I wasn't disappointed. In person, the red dragon and ocean waves is even more beautiful, with small variations that make each piece unique. The ceramic gives off a polished feel, and the stable heft is satisfying. I've used other burners before, but this one feels like it will last forever, and the glossy finish gives it a subtle sheen.
The celadon finish adds a glossy feel to the celadon ceramic body.
This burner immediately became a centerpiece on my tea table. The smooth glaze has a glossy quality to it, almost like a river stone. The ceramic is textured against my fingers, and there's a substantial presence that keeps it in place during use. The Dunhuang design is both intricate and understated, a rare combination I've come to appreciate.
