Story of the Three Monks Cups Set 三個和尚的故事
The Story of the Three Monks — 和合之道
Artist: Wu Ling 吳玲｜Jingdezhen Fine Porcelain 景德鎮手繪瓷
In the heart of Jingdezhen, artist Wu Ling brings to life an ancient parable, the story of the three monks through delicate brushstrokes and refined porcelain craftsmanship.
One Monk — Simplicity 簡樸
The first cup shows a single monk carrying water, his small frame bowed under the weight of daily chores. Alone, he works in silence, a symbol of simplicity, effort, and the solitary path of discipline. When we drink from this cup, we taste the quiet strength of dedication.
Two Monks — Cooperation 合作
The second cup shows two monks carrying a bucket of water together. Though they may quarrel, they find balance through shared rhythm and trust. This cup reminds us that harmony is not the absence of difference, but the art of moving together.
Three Monks — Harmony 和合
The final cup shows three monks, not working, but sharing joy. The lesson: when hearts align, the work becomes light, and life becomes celebration. This cup captures the spirit of 和合, unity in diversity, the perfection of balance.
Artistry and Design
Each hand-painted porcelain tumbler is shaped like a smooth river stone rounded, weightless, and perfectly balanced. Its egg-like form allows it to gently sway without tipping, symbolizing resilience and poise in movement. Crafted with fine Jingdezhen porcelain, every piece glows with soft translucence and bears Wu Ling’s signature: expressive brushwork, warm color, and gentle humor transforming daily tea moments into art.
A Complete Story in Three Cups
Together, the three cups form a complete journey from self-discipline, to collaboration, to harmony. They invite reflection with every pour a quiet reminder that tea, like life, is most beautiful when shared.

Important Shipping Notice for Our U.S. Customers
Dear Customers in the United States,
We would like to inform you of ongoing shipping delays for parcels sent from Canada to the U.S., due to newly implemented U.S. tariffs and cross-border customs procedures.
To help reduce processing time at the border, you will now see estimated duties and taxes calculated at checkout. We believe this step will help expedite clearance and minimize delays.
We truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this transitional period.
Orders outside of Canada may be assessed an additional duty fee upon import by the customs services of the destination country. Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, and we cannot refund or reimburse import fees.
