    Description

    Vintage Chinese Longquan Celadon (Greenware) Tea cup Embossed Gold Fish with Lid
    Beautiful tea cup with lid to keep your tea (or coffee) warm.
    It's in a lovely shade of light jade green with a Longquan celadon green-glazed finish over ceramic.
    The cup is embossed with gold fish. The goldfish symbolizes surplus and wealth in Chinese culture. I don't have wealth but I'm selling due to surplus so maybe it was accurate for me. May it symbolize wealth in it's new home.
    I purchased in 1996 in Chinatown, San Francisco. I used it briefly and it's been packed away for over 20 years. It's time for it to be enjoyed or displayed by someone who has space for it.
    In excellent condition. No chips or cracks.
