Goldfish & Persimmon Tea Cup

1. The Artisan’s Story
In Jingdezhen’s quiet studios, master painters breathe life into clay. This cup captures a moment where goldfish dart through crystal waters, their scales shimmering like submerged sunlight, while persimmons hang heavy with autumn’s promise—an ode to cycles of nature.

2. Design Philosophy

• Goldfish: Unlike Western still-life traditions, these fish pulse with movement, their flowing tails a dance of ink and glaze.
• Persimmons: Rendered with subtle texture, they evoke Van Gogh’s textured brushwork but with Zen restraint.
• Form: The cup’s rounded belly cradles warmth, its unadorned exterior focusing attention on the vivid interior tableau.

• Sustainable Luxury: Unlike mass-produced mugs, this heirloom resists trends with timeless narrative beauty.
