The Imperial Peony Silver-Inlay Enamel Teacup channels MonianLife’s quiet, refined aesthetic through its luminous silver-lined interior and a band of palace-style floral enamel. Handcrafted in Dehua, it blends traditional metal-fusing techniques with a calm, contemporary form, creating a piece that feels softly luxurious in both the hand and the tea ritual.
Each cup is made using an ancient silver-inlay process in which finely milled silver powder is applied to the porcelain body and bonded into the glaze through high-temperature firing. This creates a seamless, brushed-silver interior that reflects light gently and enhances both aroma and warmth. Around the exterior, an enamel-painted band is built up layer by layer, giving the colours depth, clarity and a subtle, jewel-like glow.
Solid yet delicate, the cup carries the weight of heritage craftsmanship balanced with a modern, minimal sensibility.
The main band features an imperial peony framed by scrolling foliage and cloud-like curls, echoing classical palace brocade. In Chinese symbolism, the peony is often called the “king of flowers” and is associated with flourishing life, grace and quietly confident abundance. The repeating scroll pattern wraps the entire cup in a continuous field of blessing.
Each glance reveals another curve of the peony or a new line in the scrollwork—quiet details to notice as you pause between sips.
The silver-lined interior enhances both the visual and aromatic qualities of tea. The reflective surface brightens the tea liquor, while the porcelain body holds a comfortable warmth. The tapered form rests naturally between the fingers, making the cup ideal for Gongfu sessions, mindful night tea, or a daily, one-cup ritual at your desk or tea table.
Whether used alone or within a complete tea table arrangement, the cup invites you to drink a little slower and notice a little more.
By combining imperial peony enamel art with rare silver-inlay craftsmanship, this teacup serves as both a functional vessel and a cultural keepsake. It is an intimate expression of refined taste—suited to collectors, tea practitioners and anyone who wants their daily tea to carry a touch of quiet ceremony.
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.
