Black-glazed blue-flowered gilt cup and saucer set

Description

The base of premium bone china is crafted with a matte black glaze on the cup and saucer, creating a deep, lustrous finish like the night sky, with a delicate, silky feel. The blue floral pattern within the cup is hand-painted by an artisan, with delicate petals and naturally blended colors, creating a scene of “blue flowers blooming at midnight” captured within the porcelain. The gilt trimmings on the cup’s rim, handle, and saucer are hand-painted, creating a soft, metallic sheen and a refined metallic texture, imbuing the overall design with a touch of luxury and retro elegance. Each line of gilt highlights the meticulous craftsmanship.

Cup Shape and Handling: The cup is an elegant, curved, high-heeled goblet. The black glaze accentuates the striking gilt and blue florals, while the high-heeled design adds a touch of vintage elegance. The gilt handle has a natural, smooth curve that conforms to the curve of the finger, creating an elegant and graceful grip while providing a secure support for extended periods without fatigue.

Color and Atmosphere: The deep black glaze sets off the vibrant, fresh hand-painted blue flowers, while gilded elements create a touch of refined retro elegance. The overall design strikes a balance between the mysterious night and the gentle floral charm. Enjoying it alone evokes a vintage imperial tea party, while entertaining guests with a distinct and refined aesthetic.

Daily Drinking Ritual: In the morning, enjoy a cup of Earl Grey tea. The black glaze accentuates the amber hue of the tea, the blue flowers shimmer in the morning light, and the gilded elements radiate a warm luster, adding a touch of the ritual of a “palace breakfast.” In the afternoon, brew a pot of blue flower tea and pair it with a dessert, instantly embracing the relaxed elegance of an “imperial afternoon tea,” embracing a time of vintage elegance.

Gifts and Space Decoration: Perfect as a gift for those who appreciate a refined lifestyle and a love of vintage aesthetics, this piece conveys the sentiment of “living life like a royal tea party.” When not in use, it can be placed on a sideboard or in a study. The combination of black glaze, blue flowers, and gilt adds a touch of “light luxury and retro” to any space, creating an eye-catching and sophisticated soft furnishing.

The hand-painted blue flowers and gilt details require gentle cleaning. It is recommended to use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid abrasion with a hard brush to prevent damage to the pattern or gold layer.

Use a neutral detergent, avoiding strong acidic or alkaline detergents, to protect the bone china glaze, hand-painted colors, and gilt layer.

Bone china should be handled with care, avoiding violent impacts and extreme heat and cold to prolong its lifespan.
