Yixing Raw Ore Dragon Blood Sand Zisha Master Cup, Fully Hand-Engraved Zodiac Horse Teacup, 140cc Double Wall Heat Insulated Anti-scald Kung Fu Tea Cup--The Eight Steeds (Ba Jun Tu)

The Eight Steeds (Ba Jun Tu)

The Eight Steeds is a timeless classic Chinese art motif. It originates from the legend of King Mu of Zhou, who rode eight mythical swift horses to travel across distant lands.
These eight divine steeds symbolize vitality, perseverance, ambition, soaring success and unstoppable forward momentum. In Chinese culture, horses represent good fortune, career advancement and endless energy.

This master cup is 100% fully handcrafted from genuine Yixing raw ore Dragon Blood Sand Zisha clay. Dragon Blood Sand is a rare purple clay variety, recognized for its reddish-brown texture and fine grain. With continuous tea use, the cup will develop a rich, glowing patina over time.

The cup adopts a practical double-wall design, which effectively blocks heat transfer, so the outer wall stays cool even when filled with hot tea. No more burnt fingers while enjoying your tea.
The cup surface is delicately hand-engraved with the Zodiac Horse. In traditional Chinese culture, the horse symbolizes perseverance, vitality, success and good fortune.
It serves as both a functional daily gongfu tea vessel and a precious cultural collectible & premium gift for tea lovers.
