Artist: Zijian Wang Materials: High-white porcelain (高白泥), underglaze Qinghua cobalt, silver overglaze Technique: Qinghua with hand-applied silver (青花银彩) Capacity: 50ml Dimensions: Diameter 5.5cm, height 5cm A tall-footed tea cup that lifts the bowl away from the table surface, creating a silhouette that is both delicate and architectural. The elevated foot changes the experience of drinking: the fingers hold the stem rather than the bowl, keeping the warmth of the tea separate from the warmth of the hand. It is a slower, more deliberate way to drink.

The same scrolling vine motif from the Gongdaobei wraps around the smaller bowl, with silver tracing the same stems at a more intimate scale. At 50ml, this is a cup for concentrated attention. Each sip is small. Each sip is considered.

Paired with the Gongdaobei, the two pieces form a complete personal tea service: one to pour, one to drink.
