Purple Clay Tea Cup – Yixing Dragon Carved Zisha with Lid

A serious collector’s piece and a daily-use treasure in one — this Yixing purple clay dragon tea cup is entirely handmade and hand-carved by a master artisan with over 30 years of experience. The dragon relief on the cup body is rendered with meticulous precision: scales, sinew, and movement captured in raw ore Zisha clay. Turn the cup upside down and you’ll find the master’s signature carved at the junction of handle and body — a mark of authenticity and artistry.
