Thank you Pinterest !

Stumbled upon it by chance on Pinterest for decoration, and it looks even better in person. It’s become a lovely little detail in our home.

Fits right in with mine

Third piece I've added to the collection now, each one slightly different in glaze which is exactly why I keep coming back

Overview
The Lotus Bloom Tea Cup offers a more expressive interpretation of blue and white Chinese porcelain. Rather than concentrating the decoration around a single isolated motif, the lotus pattern extends across almost the entire exterior, creating a continuous field of floral detail.

The compact 60 ml format makes the cup particularly suited to gongfu tea, where smaller servings allow the focus to remain on repeated infusions and concentrated tasting.

A restrained red and gold detail near the base introduces a warmer note beneath the predominantly blue and white composition, giving the small vessel a more elaborate visual finish.
Details

Blue & White Lotus
The lotus decoration covers most of the exterior, creating a continuous floral composition with a distinctly ornamental character.

Dense Floral Pattern
The abundant floral arrangement gives the cup a visually rich appearance, contrasting with simpler tea vessels decorated around a single motif.

Red & Gold Base Detail
A fine red and gold border appears near the raised foot, adding a restrained accent beneath the blue and white decoration.

Gongfu Format
With an approximately 60 ml capacity, the cup is designed for concentrated tea tasting and small servings rather than high volume drinking.

Traditional Blue & White
The blue and white decoration is one of the most recognizable decorative traditions in Chinese porcelain, giving the piece a distinctly classical ceramic character.

Everything you may want to knowProduct questions

A practical guide to materials, making, care, delivery and returns.

Choose a topic

What materials are used?

Materials vary by product and are listed on each product page.

Are the glazes food-safe?

Products intended for tea or food contact are selected for normal domestic use. Where a product is designed for drinking, brewing or serving tea, it is intended to be used for that purpose.

What materials are used?

Our pieces are handcrafted in stoneware and porcelain, sourced from regions in China renowned for centuries of ceramic tradition.

Jingdezhen, known as China's porcelain capital for over a thousand years, produces our fine porcelain pieces, prized for their smooth white body and ability to take detailed glazes. Yixing, famous for its zisha (purple clay) stoneware, produces our unglazed and reactive-glaze stoneware pieces, valued for their density and the way the clay develops character with use.

Each piece is fired and finished by hand, which is why glaze patterns, especially on reactive-glaze stoneware, vary slightly from piece to piece. Material and exact origin are noted on each individual product page.

Are your products lead-free?

For products intended for tea or food contact, we aim to source items suitable for normal domestic use. If a product has specific safety, material or testing information, we will include it on the product page. If you need confirmation for a specific item, contact us before ordering.

Can I use the product every day?

Yes, unless stated otherwise on the product page. Our tea ware is selected to balance design with practical everyday use. To preserve the finish, we recommend gentle handling and following the care instructions for each product.

Why do colours, glaze or texture vary slightly?

Many tea ware pieces are shaped, glazed, fired or finished in small batches. Heat, glaze, clay body and hand finishing can create subtle differences in colour, texture and surface. These variations are part of the character of crafted tea ware.

What materials are used?

Materials vary by product and are listed on each product page.

How are the pieces made?

The making process depends on the product. Pieces may be shaped, cast, glazed, fired, polished or finished by skilled workshops. This process gives each item its texture, weight, tone and character.

Why are there small variations between pieces?

Small variations are rare, but they can occasionally happen during shaping, glazing, firing or finishing. Slight differences in colour, surface, texture or form may occur from one piece to another and are part of the character of crafted tea ware.

Is it suitable as a gift?

Yes. Chadao pieces are selected to feel considered, calm and gift-ready, making them suitable for tea lovers, design-conscious homes and thoughtful everyday rituals.

Can I send it directly to someone?

Yes. Enter the recipient’s delivery address at checkout and make sure the address is complete and accurate. Order updates will be sent to the email address used at checkout.

Will the price be shown in the parcel?

We do not include pricing in the parcel where possible. Order confirmations and receipts are sent by email to the person who places the order.

How long does delivery take?

Orders are usually dispatched within 48 hours. Standard UK delivery usually takes 5 to 8 working days after dispatch.

How much does shipping cost?

Standard UK shipping costs £2.99. Shipping is free on orders of £85 or more.

Do you accept returns?

Yes. Eligible items can be returned within 90 days of delivery. Items must be unused, undamaged, complete and returned in their original packaging.
