Plum Blossom Cups 青花金线梅花杯套装

Plum Blossom Cups 青花金线梅花杯套装

Set of 6 cups

Blooming while the winter cold still lingers, the plum blossom is seen as a symbol of strength and fortitude. Among the poets and literary scholars in China, who traditionally participate in seasonal wine and tea gatherings, drinking from plum blossom cups is therefore a celebrated practice, when the weather is cold. The warmth from the tea or wine sipped from these cups lifts the spirit and enhances the beautiful sight of flowering trees.

 These cups afford an excellent option whether you are relaxing in solitude while sipping from a single cup or sharing the whole set in the company of lively friends. To fully appreciate the coloring and patterns on the inside of these cups, they are recommended for the enjoyment of light-colored teas or clear spirits. The fine golden lines along the inside of the rims act as delicate markers for a precise pour.
