Handcrafted Silver Inlay Teacup – Blue and White Dragon Porcelain from Dehua

Silver Inlay Enamel Teacup — Handcrafted Porcelain with Classic Chinese Motifs

The Silver Inlay Enamel Teacup blends millennium-old metalwork with refined porcelain artistry. Fine silver powder is fused into the glaze at high temperatures, forming a durable, radiant inner layer that gently enhances the aroma and warmth of tea while creating a quiet sense of luxury in the hand.

Craftsmanship

Each cup is created using a traditional silver inlay process: finely milled silver powder is applied to the porcelain body and fired at high temperature, bonding metal and glaze into a single, seamless surface. The interior shows a soft, brushed texture that catches light with a calm, silvery glow.

• Millennium-old silver inlay technique
• Fine silver powder fused into the glaze
• High-temperature firing for durability and stability
• Subtle metallic sheen that feels refined, not flashy

The result is a teacup that feels solid yet delicate, carrying both the weight of tradition and the clarity of contemporary design.

Art & Symbolism

The enamel-painted exterior features vivid floral and avian patterns inspired by traditional Chinese symbolism of love, prosperity, and long life. Layered colors and fine linework give the motifs depth and movement, turning the cup into a small, handheld canvas of cultural imagery.

• Floral motifs symbolising abundance and grace
• Bird imagery echoing freedom, partnership, and joy
• Enamel painting with rich, enduring color
• Design rooted in classical Chinese decorative art

Every glance at the cup reveals another small detail, adding a quiet narrative to your tea ritual or display shelf.

Tea Experience & Everyday Use

The silver-lined interior offers a gentle tactile feel as well as a refined visual experience. Its reflective surface subtly brightens the hue of the tea liquor, while the porcelain body helps maintain a comfortable warmth in the hand.
