Heart Sutra Cup with Lotus Motif

The cup features a ring foot with lotus patterns inspired by the caisson ceiling designs of Dunhuang Cave 217, engraved in relief. The lotus, known as the "sacred flower," symbolizes purity, elegance, and good fortune. The lotus petals on the cup resemble peaches, with broad, full shapes and pointed tips that layer beautifully, creating a strong visual appeal. The bottom of the cup is imprinted with the National Library of China’s collection seal. 

The thin, translucent walls of the cup allow light to pass through, and under normal lighting, the engraved Heart Sutra text appears to glow with a halo, reminiscent of Buddhist light, adding a sense of enlightenment and serenity, evoking scholarly elegance. The raw material used in making the cup includes natural kaolin clay, allowing the brewed tea to retain its rich aroma to the fullest extent. The full-bodied shape of the cup facilitates the even unfolding of tea leaves, making it suitable for most types of tea.

心经杯

圈足有莲花纹样,提取自敦煌217窟藻井纹,阳刻其上。莲花有“花圣”之称,有圣洁、高雅、吉祥的寓意,杯上莲瓣形似桃子,宽边饱满且带尖凸起,层层叠复,视觉美感突出。杯底烧印国家图书馆藏书印。

杯壁薄可透光,正常光源下,杯上经文字迹宛若佛光萦绕,明慧空灵,尽显文人意趣。杯身烧制原料中添加天然高岭土,烧成的杯子能在泡茶时最大程度保留茶叶醇香,适用于大多数茶叶。器型饱满,便于茶叶均匀舒展。
