Obsidian Silver Zisha – Lotus Arhat Cup

The Lotus Arhat Cup from the Obsidian Silver Zisha Collection is designed for refined Gongfu tea tasting, featuring a compact, low-profile form inspired by traditional Arhat cups. The deep obsidian zisha body is accented with sculpted silver lotus petals around the base, creating a grounded and meditative aesthetic that complements slow tea rituals.

Each cup is finished using a handcrafted silver gilding technique. Finely ground silver powder is delicately brushed onto the surface as decorative ornamentation, then fixed onto the vessel through heating or modern bonding methods. This allows the silver to integrate with the zisha body, forming a textured and functional coating that enhances durability while adding artistic depth and subtle metallic contrast.

Made from authentic zisha clay, the cup offers excellent thermal stability and a soft tactile texture, making it ideal for concentrated tea tasting. Its small capacity helps highlight aroma layers and flavor clarity, perfect for Gongfu sessions and collector-grade tea setups.
