Celadon Tulip-Inspired Tea Cup with Inlaid Crane and Cloud Motif By Master Artisan

“A flower that never wilts—this celadon cup offers calm, grace, and craftsmanship in bloom.”

This exquisite tulip-shaped celadon tea cup is a work of quiet refinement, designed and handcrafted by Master Artisan Kwon Oh-Hak, a distinguished ceramicist from Icheon, Korea—a region famed for its celadon heritage. His decades of devotion to traditional Goryeo techniques are embodied in this graceful, modern form.

Inspired by the gentle curve of a tulip, the cup’s silhouette blossoms upward with a sculptural elegance. Each vertical panel features cranes and clouds rendered in the sanggam (inlay) technique, a signature of Goryeo celadon, symbolising harmony, longevity, and serenity.

The lid, perfectly matched in form, invites gentle ritual. It can be used to rest a tea bag, a small biscuit, or simply admired on its own—each use offering a moment of grace. Together with its saucer, the set serves not only as a refined teacup but also as a sculptural accent, quietly enriching your table or display shelf.

Imagine the morning light touching the celadon glaze, revealing soft blue-green hues and delicate inlay. Whether used for tea or displayed as a decorative treasure, it evokes a slow, contemplative rhythm—like a flower captured in stillness.

Due to the handmade nature of this work, slight variations in shape, tone, or inlay may occur—each piece is one of a kind.
