【Prosperity and Good Fortune】Mini Mountain Cup 260ml / Small Capacity Coffee Cup

Upright-eared dogs bring wealth | Droopy-eared dogs bring good fortune --------------------------------------------------------- Prosperity and Good Fortune The countryside of Yilan resembles the idyllic setting described in "The Peach Blossom Spring," with fertile fields, beautiful ponds, and mulberry trees, where paths connect and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard. Dogs of various appearances often stand guard at the entrance of rural homes. "Dogs" are symbols of safety and protection, imbued with auspicious meanings of good fortune. The barking sounds heard in the countryside, "wang wang," sound similar to the character "旺" (wàng), which signifies prosperity. Thus, "dogs" also symbolize wealth and abundance, representing thriving prosperity. During traditional Lunar New Year celebrations, every household hangs red lanterns to create an atmosphere of joy and reunion. Spring Festival lanterns carry the auspicious meaning of "鴻(紅)運當頭" (hóng yùn dāng tóu), meaning good luck is coming your way. Blooming before all other flowers and bringing spring to the world, the plum blossom is an auspicious symbol of announcing the arrival of spring. A common saying goes, "A branch of plum blossoms signifies the New Year." Each plum blossom that blooms adds to the festive spirit of the approaching Spring Festival. The five petals of the plum blossom also symbolize the "Five Blessings" (五福臨門 - wǔ fú lín mén): longevity, wealth, health, virtue, and a good end. 【Craftsmanship】 Hand-thrown. Hand-sprayed glaze.

This ensures that the vessel is not monotonous like industrially produced ceramics, with constant variations throughout each stage. From taking the clay, throwing it on the wheel, to cutting the base, the semi-finished product is carefully removed with fingers and placed on a wooden rack to air dry. After trimming and bisque firing, glaze is applied, and the blue and white decal is fired. Each step leaves its mark, ultimately imbuing every vessel with a unique character, warming from your hands to your heart. ★ This is a purely handmade product, not made from a mold. It embraces a freehand feel and natural variations. Therefore, the size and shape of each piece will have slight differences. 【Dimensions】 Height: 6.5cm, Rim Diameter: 7.5cm, Base Diameter: 8.5cm 【Material】 Ceramic clay.
