This gorgeous three-piece Sancai Gaiwan is crafted in Jingdezhen with luxurious enamel craft, decorated with the timeless classic Chinese motif Butterflies Lingering Over Flowers (Die Lian Hua).
Butterfly and flower is a beloved ancient symbolic theme in Chinese art. Butterflies represent joy, freedom and everlasting affection, while peonies and blooming flowers stand for prosperity, beauty and abundant good fortune. In traditional culture, butterflies flitting among blossoms also carry the romantic meaning of happy companionship and sweet harmony. The dense, dreamy arrangement of colourful flowers and graceful butterflies creates a lush, vibrant garden scene on the porcelain.
The refined enamel painting technique delivers rich, saturated colours with delicate layered brushwork. Thin gilded trim outlines the rim, adding an elegant touch of luxury. Every petal and butterfly wing is carefully rendered, inheriting the court enamel aesthetic from the Qing Dynasty.
This is a complete 3-piece set including lid, bowl and saucer. The balanced curved shape allows smooth pouring. You can rest the lid on the rim to strain tea leaves and avoid splashing, friendly for both beginners and experienced tea lovers.
Capacity 180ml, perfect portion for kung fu tea brewing. It works wonderfully for oolong, pu-erh, white tea and other loose-leaf teas. The smooth, dense glaze is food-safe, easy to rinse and resistant to tea stains.
Far more than a practical brewing vessel, it is a wearable piece of oriental fine art. Bright yet refined, it shines on your tea table. It is ideal for daily home tea rituals, tea room display, collection, or as a high-end thoughtful gift for tea lovers on special occasions.
