Poetry & Cultural Meaning

The cup features an excerpt from the famous Song Dynasty poem by Xin Qiji:

"I see the green mountains as charming, and I imagine the green mountains see me the same way."

—— Xin Qiji, "Song of New Guest" · Xiaojian

This line expresses a profound connection between humanity and nature—a mutual admiration between the observer and the observed. When you pour tea into this cup, the rich amber liquid contrasts beautifully with the bold blue calligraphy, creating a visual metaphor for landscapes reflected in water. It elevates the simple act of drinking tea into a poetic meditation.

Craftsmanship & Design

Classic "Jar" (Gang) Silhouette: With a slightly收窄 (narrowed) rim and deep, stable body, this shape is excellent for concentrating the aroma of the tea. It is particularly suitable for aromatic oolong teas like Yan Cha or Dan Cong.

Heritage Qingbai Glaze: Crafted using Jingdezhen's 1000-year-old Qingbai (Blue-White) technique and fired at 1300°C. The glaze has a translucent, jade-like quality that feels cool and smooth to the touch.

Expressive Calligraphic Engraving: Instead of painted-on designs, the characters are hand-carved directly into the porcelain body before firing. This "one-knife" technique captures the raw energy and texture of the brushstrokes, making each cup a unique work of art.

Perfect For

Solo tea sessions to appreciate the harmony of nature and art.

As a statement piece in a scholar's studio or minimalist zen space.

A sophisticated gift for lovers of classical Chinese poetry, Song Dynasty culture, and fine ceramics.

Note: Hand wash only to preserve the delicate glaze and the integrity of the engraved calligraphy. Due to the handmade nature, dimensions may vary slightly by ±0.2cm.
