Carnation bone china cup and saucer set

Description

Selected high-quality bone china with a high bone meal content, this china inherits the essence of European porcelain craftsmanship. The porcelain is delicate and translucent, as soft as mutton-fat jade. Light passing through it reveals the delicate texture beneath. A gentle tap on the cup creates a clear, chime-like sound, a vivid testament to bone china’s unique qualities of thinness, transparency, strength, and smoothness. While retaining an irreplaceable sense of effortless luxury and refinement, bone china’s durability and damage resistance allow it to endure everyday use, making every toast a breath of elegance.

Vivid Hand-Painted Carnations: The carnation blossoms on the cup and plate are hand-painted by artisans. The deep red and vibrant pink petals are distinctly layered, each one appearing as vibrant as a natural bloom. The distinct veins of the emerald green leaves, combined with the delicate stems, create a scene that seems to be a “bouquet of carnations blooming in a garden at dawn,” permanently captured on the porcelain. Handcrafted, each flower’s shape and color are unique, blending the vibrant energy of nature with artistic beauty into an everyday object.

Embroidered and gilded: The cup features a three-dimensional embossed pattern, resembling vines gently entwined around the body, adding a tactile and visual dimension to the smooth porcelain surface. The gilded rims on the base and saucer shimmer softly in the light, blending beautifully with the vibrant colors of the hand-painted carnations. This creates a subtle touch of vintage elegance within the refreshing floral palette, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of every detail.

Cup Shape and Grip: The cup’s elegant petal-shaped body perfectly aligns with the curves of the palm, providing a secure grip while allowing for a clear sense of the bone porcelain’s warmth. The delicate handle curves smoothly and naturally, allowing fingers to wrap around it, evoking the elegant, retro demeanor of a lady, while remaining effortless even for extended periods.

Flower language and atmosphere: Carnations symbolize love, care, and blessings. The vibrant, full-bodied floral pattern infuses the space with a gentle, healing vitality, making every use a token of goodwill. The pure white porcelain base accentuates the vibrant floral colors, while the embossed texture and gilded trim add a vintage touch. This piece is suitable for both fresh, rustic homes and retro, luxury spaces.

Daily Ritual: Serve a latte in the morning, and the vibrant carnations in the morning light add a touch of romance to the hectic morning. In the afternoon, brew a pot of rose tea and watch the amber tea slowly smudge in the bone china cup. Pair it with a scone or macaron on a plate, and you’ll instantly experience the soothing, relaxing feeling of a “private garden afternoon tea.”

For entertaining guests and thoughtful gifts: When friends visit, the floral beauty of this set of cups and saucers instantly becomes the center of attention, complementing the delicate tea and snacks and making casual conversations poetic. As a thoughtful gift, it’s a perfect choice—give it to your mother (perfectly matching the carnation’s symbolic meaning of “maternal love”) to convey deep care; give it to a close friend, expressing the blessing of “sharing tenderness and beauty with you”; and give it to a newlywed couple, wishing their marriage to blossom like a blooming flower.

Decorative Ideas: Even when not in use, staggered placement of these cups and saucers on a sideboard, desk, or display shelf—the combination of hand-painted carnations and embossed gold accents can add a “flowerhouse-like” touch to any space, creating a comforting and elegant finishing touch to any soft furnishing.

Hand-painted, embossed, and gilded surfaces require gentle cleaning. It’s recommended to use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid abrasive contact with harsh brushes, which can damage the detailed craftsmanship.

Use a neutral detergent; avoid strong acidic or alkaline detergents, as these can damage the bone china glaze, hand-painted colors, and gilded finish.

Bone china is sensitive to sudden changes in temperature. Avoid exposing a cup to cold water immediately after using hot water, or placing it in a microwave or oven.

From the vibrant hand-painted carnations to the exquisite details of the embossed gilded surfaces, to the inherently warm texture of the bone china, this set of cups and saucers imbues everyday life with a sense of floral tenderness and vintage elegance. Each use feels like a gift of love and blessings, imbuing even ordinary moments with a sense of ritual.
