Gold Teacups

Our gold teacups are Chinese-style porcelain cups finished with a 24k gold lining, pairing a traditional gongfu cup shape with a touch of ceremony. The collection spans celadon glazes, hand-painted enamel scenes, and classic motifs like cranes, lotus, and dragons.

Each gold tea cup is sized for small-pour gongfu brewing, so you can enjoy tea steep after steep.

Why Choose a Gold-Lined Tea Cup

A gold lining gives a tea cup a bright, reflective interior that shows off the color of the liquor, from pale green to deep amber. It's also a traditional finishing touch in Chinese tea ware, often chosen for gifts and special occasions. Our cups range from about 65 ml to 150 ml, which suits gongfu-style brewing, where tea is served in small, frequent pours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are These Gold Teacups Made of Real Gold?

These are porcelain teacups with a 24k gold lining, not solid gold cups. The gold finish gives the cup its look while the porcelain body keeps it practical for everyday tea.

How Do I Care for a Gold-Lined Tea Cup?

Hand wash gently with a soft sponge and mild soap, and avoid abrasive scrubbers, which can wear the gold lining. As with most gold-trimmed porcelain, keep these cups out of the microwave.

What Size Tea Cup Is Best for Gongfu Tea?

Gongfu tea is traditionally served in small cups, usually somewhere between 50 and 150 ml, so each pour stays hot and you can taste how the tea changes across infusions. Smaller cups suit concentrated teas like Phoenix oolong, while larger ones work well for lighter teas.
