The Ancient Moon “Flying Crane” Teacup reflects MonianLife’s calm, nature-inspired aesthetic through its dark, hand-glazed ceramic body and luminous golden crane in mid-flight. Handcrafted in Dehua, it captures a moment of quiet ascent—an image of freedom, longevity, and poised elegance held within a small, contemplative cup.
Hand-glazed and traditionally fired in Dehua kilns, each cup features a deep, tactile surface that contrasts beautifully with the fine golden detailing of the flying crane. The compact form is shaped with care, offering both durability and a balanced, comfortable feel in the hand.
The craftsmanship creates a piece that feels both ancient and minimal—balanced between expressive artistry and quiet restraint.
With a 40ml tasting capacity and softly rounded shape, the Flying Crane Teacup is ideal for Gongfu tea, focused tasting sessions, and slow, mindful tea moments. The curved interior helps lift aroma, while the smooth rim enhances the softness and clarity of each sip—whether you are enjoying oolong, pu’er, green tea, or herbal infusions.
Small, balanced, and quietly expressive, it brings a sense of presence and attentiveness to every pour and every breath.
In classical Chinese symbolism, the flying crane represents graceful movement, spiritual elevation, and enduring vitality. The golden crane gliding across the dark glaze appears almost moonlit, creating a tranquil visual contrast that deepens the mood of the tea ritual.
Its imagery offers a quiet reminder of stillness and spaciousness—an invitation to rise above the noise of daily life.
Appreciated by tea lovers and collectors for its symbolic crane motif, expressive dark glaze, and refined small-batch craftsmanship, the Flying Crane Teacup serves as both a daily ritual companion and a meaningful cultural gift. It stands out as a distinctive piece within any Chinese teaware 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.
