This graceful stemmed Sancai Gaiwan features the timeless Chinese auspicious motif Magpies on Plum Blossoms, known as Xi Shang Mei Shao (喜上眉梢).
In traditional Chinese symbolism, the magpie stands for joy and good news, while plum blossoms represent perseverance, purity and hope. This classic pattern conveys a heartfelt blessing: happy tidings are on their way, bringing good fortune and delight to your life.
Crafted with premium underglaze blue technique, the cobalt painting is locked under the glossy porcelain glaze after high-temperature firing. The vivid blue artwork will never fade or wear off with repeated use, and it is food-safe for brewing all kinds of loose-leaf tea.
The elevated high-foot (stemmed) saucer is its standout functional design. The raised base isolates heat effectively, keeping your hands away from high temperatures and preventing scalding when pouring tea. It balances smoothly and is easy to grip, suitable for both new gaiwan learners and experienced kung fu tea practitioners.
The complete 3-piece set includes lid, tea bowl and stemmed saucer. Delicate wave border decorations add extra refined oriental charm. It is ideal for daily home tea rituals, tea table display, art collection, or an elegant cultural gift for tea lovers and fans of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain.
