{"product_id":"hand-painted-camellia-teacup-abxk4amr","title":"Camellia Teacup · Red Flower, Blue Ruyi Handle","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eA footed ceramic teacup formed as a round bowl with a ruyi-curved handle — a profile that balances the generous volume of the cup against the deliberate formality of its foot. The exterior carries a camellia motif in red against a ground that deepens toward the base; the handle is glazed in a cooler, contrasting blue. Gold paint traces the rim, adding a line of measured ceremony without moving into ornament. Holds standard tea volume comfortably. The glaze surface reads differently under raking light than under diffuse indoor light — both readings are correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eInspirations\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ruyi handle is a form with a long object history — its curved terminus originally signified good fortune, and its silhouette has since migrated into decorative and functional ceramics alike. Here it is treated as a structural proposition rather than a symbolic one: the handle fits the grip without requiring explanation. The camellia, similarly, is handled as surface incident — a motif applied with enough restraint that the flower reads as pattern before it reads as symbol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic body with footed base and ruyi-form handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamellia floral motif in red on a graduated glaze ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue glaze handle in contrast to the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGold-painted rim detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterior glazed and suitable for hot liquid use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eNotices\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash recommended to preserve gold rim and glaze surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMinor variation in glaze pooling and motif placement is inherent to the production process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot microwave-safe due to gold paint application\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetail price reflects single cup; sold individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TRLAB SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":54555122532627,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/0028\/5459\/files\/sku_hand-painted-camellia-teacup-abxk4amr_01_8fcb3ce1-f42c-43c4-b3fd-366c1ea72283.webp?v=1786343175","url":"https:\/\/trlab.com\/en-ca\/products\/hand-painted-camellia-teacup-abxk4amr","provider":"TRLab Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
