“HAROLD IMPORTS” BLUE WILLOW PORCELAIN CHINESE TEA CUP
BLUE WILLOW:- The Blue Willow tells the charming old Chinese legend of an angry father pursuing his eloping daughter, only to see the maiden and her lover transformed into birds who fly away together.
This beautiful Chinese tea cup has the classic Blue Willow design. The Blue Willow design depicts the charming and legendary old Chinese Blue Willow Story. The story is about an angry father pursuing his eloping daughter. At the end, the father finds the maiden and her lover on a bridge, and before his eyes, they transform into love birds and fly away together. The lovebirds can be seen on all Blue Willow designs. Keeping with the classic design, ever-present are the willows, the house where the lovers resided, the house to which they fled, the bridge where they were transformed – all of the central motifs of the Blue Willow story are in the design of each Blue Willow piece. The Blue Willow design is stencil etched on by hand then fired, creating a beautiful and long lasting finish. To maintain the lovely finish, do not place in microwave or oven. Hand wash recommended. Five-ounce capacity.

Great Cups! This is what I was exactly looking for. Small size like found in Chinese restuarants and with no handle. Great design and looks great. Perfect for drinking my Foojoy Dragonwell Lunching green tea!
I have always preferred the Asian style teacup, and this is a beautiful and reasonably priced option. If you are used to teacups with a handle, beware of the heat of the cup when first filling.
I love this cup. It is perfect for my little Tea Pot, and it is dainty yet not prissy. It provides the opportunity to savor the tea and appreciate its flavor.
