Vintage Ceramic Kung Fu Tea Cups with Koi Fish Design

The ancient wisdom of tea ceremony flows through every curve of this vintage ceramic teacup for Kung Fu tea. As you hold this vessel between your palms, feel the centuries of meditative practice channeled through its form, where the symbolic imagery of plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum, lotus, and koi fish merge to create a portal between everyday experience and sacred mindfulness. Each sip becomes a moment of profound connection to the elements—water transformed by fire, contained by earth, offered with intention.

Ancient Wisdom & Cultural Heritage

In Chinese spiritual tradition, these motifs represent the “Four Gentlemen” of classical art (plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum) symbolizing resilience, purity, flexibility, and perseverance through life’s seasons. The koi fish embodies transformation and spiritual ascension, while the lotus represents enlightenment blooming from muddy waters. Together, these sacred symbols create a vessel that doesn’t merely hold tea—it holds the entire cosmos of Chinese philosophical wisdom.
