{"product_id":"hand-painted-butterfly-tea-cup-nt76dvqq","title":"Butterfly \u0026 Flower Ceramic Tea Cup with Footed Base","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hand-glazed ceramic cup whose form resolves quietly into its own still life. The tapered body widens toward a scalloped rim, finished at its waist with a heart-shaped handle that registers more as a sculptural ear than a functional grip. A low footed base lifts the cup fractionally off the table, giving it the silhouette of something meant to be looked at before it is used. The surface carries a botanical transfer of butterflies in mid-flight among flowering branches, rendered with the flat precision of an archival print rather than the looseness of freehand painting. Gold line work traces the rim and the foot, restrained enough to read as proportion rather than ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cup with wooden saucer and spoon variant introduces a turned wood disk and a paired spoon in the same tonal register—pale grain against the white glaze—completing the object as a composed set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eInspirations\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe butterfly-and-flower motif belongs to a long tradition of treating the tea vessel as a surface for natural history illustration: specimen before service. The scalloped rim recalls the edge profiles found in nineteenth-century botanical china, while the footed form draws from the proportional logic of a wine coupe—height used to separate the object from its surface, not to complicate its use. The heart handle is a single concession to legibility that the rest of the cup's geometry is otherwise too reserved to make.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic body with butterfly and flowering branch motif in botanical-print style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScalloped rim with gold-line detail at rim and foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeart-shaped handle; footed base for elevated table presence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable as cup only, or with turned wooden saucer and matching spoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlaze finished in studio white; gold accent applied at rim and base ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch5\u003eNotices\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-wash recommended to preserve gold detailing and glaze surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot suitable for microwave use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight tonal variation between individual pieces is inherent to the glazing process and is not considered a defect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWooden saucer and spoon included only in the cup-with-saucer-and-spoon variant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TRLAB SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":54555120795923,"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-butterfly-tea-cup-nt76dvqq_01_3c6728ee-4292-4155-9a6e-d0fda42e7ba8.webp?v=1786342965","url":"https:\/\/trlab.com\/fr\/products\/hand-painted-butterfly-tea-cup-nt76dvqq","provider":"TRLab Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
