"Sunflower” Antique Style Ding Kiln Tea Cup

The Ding kiln is a treasure of traditional Chinese porcelain craftsmanship. Originally established during the Song Dynasty, the Ding kiln is one of the 'six major kiln systems' known for porcelain that reflects the height of ancient China's technical mastery and artistic expression.

Distinguished by bold, flowing designs with dynamic lines, Ding ware embodies a carving technique perfected over centuries. The porcelain's white glaze provides a perfect canvas for understated yet striking patterns that evoke nature and movement.

First produced for imperial use, Ding ware represents the zenith of Chinese ceramic art and a timeless gift for connoisseurs of fine porcelain.

This exquisite "Sunflower" cup captures the skill of our master craftsmen and the natural spirit of the sunflower style. The sturdy 110ml vessel is perfect as a host's cup. The heavy base and thick sides lend warmth and heft, while the sunflower rim adds a dash of whimsy and positive energy.

Whether used daily or for special occasions, this classical Chinese cup brings ceremony into even the mundane moments of your tea ritual - transforming a simple act of drinking into an ode to the simplicity and life-giving warmth of nature.

Elevate your tea ritual - from casual mornings to formal gatherings - with the perfectly named 'Sun Flower' Yixing-style glazed tea cup. Handcrafted by artisans to nourish the spirit through ceremony, beauty and imperfection.
