Ivory Canvas White-Slip Hand-Painted Yixing Zisha Teacup 80ml

The Ivory Canvas White-Slip Hand-Painted Yixing Zisha Teacup 80ml is designed as a striking canvas for daily gongfu tea rituals. Created to complement the Ivory Canvas teapot, this tasting cup brings the ancient Baiyi white-coated ceramic technique into a refined contemporary form.

A delicate layer of pale clay slip is applied over a traditional Yixing purple clay body, creating an ivory-toned surface that allows the artisan’s hand-painted Neolithic motifs to stand out with clarity and depth. The result is a vessel that feels both ancient and modern—rooted in ceramic heritage while remaining elegant enough for everyday use.

A Striking Canvas for Your Daily Ritual

At 80ml, this Yixing Zisha teacup is perfectly proportioned for savoring the evolving aroma, texture, and flavor of tea across multiple gongfu infusions. Its size offers enough volume for a satisfying tasting experience while keeping the session focused and intentional.

The smooth, contoured rim rests comfortably against the lip, while the balanced cup shape sits naturally in the hand. The contrast between earthy hand-painted patterns and the pale white-slip surface brings a quiet visual presence to the tea table.

White-Slip Baiyi Technique
The cup uses a pale clay slip over a purple clay body, referencing the ancient white-coated ceramic language associated with early Chinese pottery traditions. This technique creates a soft, ivory canvas that highlights the painted motifs without overwhelming the natural warmth of the clay beneath.

Hand-Painted Neolithic Motifs
Each teacup is individually decorated with patterns inspired by ancient ceramic forms. The brushwork gives every piece its own subtle rhythm, making the cup feel personal, tactile, and connected to a longer history of ceramic making.

Yixing Zisha Tea Experience
Yixing purple clay is valued in tea culture for its tactile warmth and close relationship with gongfu brewing. This 80ml cup is suitable for appreciating oolong, puerh, black tea, and other loose-leaf teas where aroma and mouthfeel develop over repeated steepings.

Designed to Complete the Ivory Canvas Set

Pair this teacup with the matching Ivory Canvas teapot to create a cohesive tea setting rooted in texture, symbolism, and heritage. Together, the pieces bring the feeling of holding thousands of years of ceramic memory into a quiet modern tea ritual.
