Tea & Wine Pair Cups 【Reunion】 Family Reunion

【Reunion】Tea & Wine Pair Cups - Family Reunion The Yilan countryside often awakens to the crowing of roosters from nearby homes or neighbors. It's common to see chickens leisurely wandering in the open courtyards of traditional courtyard houses. In Taiwanese folk weddings, the "guiding rooster" symbolizes the beginning of a new family, while "couple chickens" represent a blessing for a harmonious marital life. In the Minnan dialect, "chicken" (雞, jī) sounds similar to "home" (家, jia), thus chickens also symbolize the reunion of the entire family. Furthermore, "egg" (蛋, dàn) sounds like "generation" (代, dài), and a hen laying eggs signifies passing down through generations. The Sanshing Four Seasons Reunion Chicken vessels, designed with unique local cultural blue and white patterns and crafted with exquisite classic blue and white porcelain techniques, allow you to enjoy the simple beauty of Yilan life on your everyday dining table. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tea and wine pair cups, as the name suggests, are small in size, fitting perfectly in your palm, suitable for both tea and wine. 【Craftsmanship】 Hand-thrown. Hand-sprayed glaze. Blue and white printing. Sanshing Four Seasons Blue and White pieces are 100% "made by hand," allowing every subtle touch and movement to leave its mark during the shaping process. This results in vessels that are not uniform like industrially produced ceramics, with constant variations throughout each stage. From taking the clay, throwing it on the wheel, to trimming the base, and carefully lifting the semi-finished piece with fingers onto a wooden rack to air dry, followed by bisque firing, glazing, printing the blue and white design, and finally firing. Each step leaves its trace, ultimately imbuing each vessel with a unique character that warms from your hand to your heart. ★ As this is a purely handmade product and not made from a mold, it embraces a freehand feel and natural variations. The size and shape of each piece will have slight differences. 【Dimensions】 Mouth diameter 6.5 * Height 6 * Base diameter 7 cm (+-0.5cm) 【Material】 Ceramic clay.
