STYLE
An antique-style, rustic, thick-walled stoneware hand painted teacup with a classic Chinese landscape. Beneath its translucent glaze, the natural texture and grains of the clay are visible.
The classical Chinese landscape painting (shanshuihua, 山水画 mountain and water painting) on porcelain is not merely decorative, but a symbolic motif that evokes reverence for nature, as well as its harmony, permanence, and tranquility. These landscapes often depict places of retreat and quiet contemplation, reflecting both Confucian and Daoist thought. Humans, when present, are usually tiny and insignificant compared to the vastness of mountains, trees, and rivers, suggesting humility and harmony. A landscape painted on a teacup never represents a specific location, but rather an idealized inner world, one that the act of tea drinking itself can evoke.
