Hotumn Celadon Teacup Set with Koi Fish and Lotus

These are traditional Chinese gongfu-style teacups, which means they're much smaller than Western coffee cups—about 2 ounces each. Several buyers mentioned they were smaller than expected if you're used to Western sizing, but that's actually the authentic size for traditional Chinese tea ceremonies where you do multiple short steepings. Perfect for savoring tea in small, concentrated servings rather than drinking large mugs.

No, and that's what makes these special! The koi fish design is actually raised and three-dimensional—not just flat paint. Multiple reviewers specifically called out this 3D detail as a pleasant surprise. The hand-painted patterns combined with the raised elements give these cups a real artisan quality that you can both see and feel.

Celadon is a traditional Chinese porcelain with that distinctive jade-green glaze. It's been prized in Chinese tea culture for centuries because the color beautifully complements the tea and doesn't interfere with appreciating the liquor's color. Reviewers loved the 'attractive celadon green color' and the overall aesthetic these bring to a tea setup. It's authentic porcelain, not just green-painted ceramic.

Yes, each cup comes with its own matching saucer, so you get 3 cups and 3 saucers in the set. Reviewers also mentioned the packaging was particularly beautiful and careful, which makes this a solid gift option if you're introducing someone to gongfu tea ceremony.

Most reviewers found them well-made with beautiful construction, though one buyer mentioned some minor paint inconsistencies like small black marks or rough spots in the glaze. These seem to be occasional quality control variations rather than widespread issues. For the price point, most buyers felt they were getting solid artisan-style cups, especially appreciating the raised detail work.

Absolutely. Multiple reviewers specifically mentioned these are great for beginners exploring gongfu tea culture. They're authentic enough to give you the real experience (proper sizing, traditional celadon design), beautiful enough to make the ritual feel special, and affordable enough that you're not making a huge investment while you're still learning. They also make an excellent gift for introducing friends to Chinese tea ceremony.
