Ink‑Wash Peony 2‑Piece Tea & Coffee Cup Set (150 ml)

This porcelain set is a re‑creation of the banquet ware used at the official spouses’ dinner during the 2018 Belt and Road Initiative gala. Its lake‑blue ground conveys a quiet, dignified elegance, while peonies painted in ink‑wash and traced with fine gold threads seem to bloom across the surface—their graceful forms reminiscent of flowers reflected in water, evoking a deep and poetic ambience.

Ink‑wash (shuimo) is a quintessential element of Chinese culture, woven into the very fabric of China’s artistic heritage and a lasting source of inspiration for contemporary design. The “Ink‑wash Peony” pattern takes its palette and motifs directly from the blue‑ground, ink‑decorated peony porcelains produced by the imperial kilns of the Forbidden City, using these classic features as the foundation for a fresh, modern interpretation.
