Vintage Longevity Peach Tea Saucers

Bold Color, Quiet Time

This set of four small famille rose tea saucers comes from the Dehua kiln, dating to the 1980s. Unlike the refined elegance of Jingdezhen famille rose, Dehua’s expression is more rugged, direct, and expressive—simple brushstrokes, confident color, and an honesty that feels almost painterly.

There’s a boldness here that quietly recalls Fauvism, translated into porcelain.

Each saucer carries a peach longevity motif, rendered in three harmonized colors. Nothing is overworked; everything feels intentional and alive.

Subtle wear is the proof of a life lived. These saucers don't pretend; they tell the story of four decades of tea.

How It Feels

Lively, Grounded, Unpretentious

• The unglazed rim feels dry and honest in the hand
• Subtle wear on the base tells you these pieces have lived a real life
• Colors are vibrant but not loud—energizing without being restless
• On the tea table, they bring warmth, rhythm, and a sense of ease

Used under a cup, they quietly frame the moment.
Left on the table, they still feel complete.

Why It’s Different

Dehua’s Own Language of Color

• 1980s Dehua famille rose, bold and expressive
• Peach longevity design—simple, symbolic, and joyful
• Unglazed rims and visible usage marks add depth and time
• A style that values gesture over perfection, character over polish

These are not museum pieces.
They are exceptional tea saucers meant to be used, appreciated, and lived with.

Built for Daily Use

• Ideal as tea saucers or small plates
• Stable, tactile, and comfortable on the tea table
• Natural signs of age are part of their charm
• Set of four, perfect for shared tea moments

A Different Kind of Refinement

These Dehua famille rose saucers don’t try to impress.
They simply belong—to the table, to the tea, to everyday life.

I hope you’ll enjoy living with them as much as I do.
