Coiled Flower Cup

Description

Coiled Flower Cup, natural lacquer tea cup inlaid with mother‑of‑pearl, intangible cultural heritage handmade craft. Taking natural lacquer as the base and mother‑of‑pearl as ornament, the cup features winding floral patterns, shimmering brightly as if brought alive by spring breeze. Sourced from natural raw lacquer of the Qinba Mountains, it undergoes hundreds of traditional lacquer‑making procedures including lacquer selection, filtering, refining and toning. Natural raw lacquer is repeatedly coated and polished to a mellow lustre, then embellished with mother‑of‑pearl inlay and gold foil through multiple elaborate procedures. Hand‑inlaid with colourful mother‑of‑pearl coiled‑flower motifs, the inlay shimmers with shifting light angles like dancing flower shadows, symbolising splendid life and timeless beauty. The inner surface is finished with elegant gold foil. Crafted in Pingli, China, it inherits local traditional mother‑of‑pearl lacquer craftsmanship.
