Ming-Style Cinnabar Bamboo Cups

Elegant Ming-Inspired White Porcelain

This set of four 70ml teacups, designed by Hong Jianpeng, draws inspiration from classic Ming Dynasty white porcelain, combining timeless aesthetics with modern usability. Each cup is glazed with a clear finish and features a hand-painted Lantian bamboo motif in cinnabar red, creating a subtle yet refined elegance for your tea table.
