Inspired by the Nine-Color Deer of Dunhuang's ancient murals — the noble deer who came to every call for help — this cup carries a quiet wish: may every path you walk bloom with flowers.
Thrown, hand-carved, and fired as a Jianzhan cup, its body is engraved with the deer and trailing blossoms, framed by a deep, kiln-changed glaze that no two pieces repeat.
A handmade work — to hold, to use, and to keep.
Story & blessing — The Nine-Color Deer and "a path of blossoms": a wish for every journey to bloom.
Handmade Jianzhan — Thrown, carved, and fired by hand, in the Jianzhan tradition.
Hand-carved detail — The deer and flowers are carved into the clay, one cup at a time.
Unique glaze — Kiln-fired and kiln-changed; no two cups are alike.
To hold and to keep — A collectible cup, made for the daily tea table.
