"Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Hand-Painted Cup · Layers of Buddha's Shadow – 'A cup holding the light of a thousand Buddhas, the palm reflects Dunhuang.'" This artisan hand-painted cup draws inspiration from the Thousand Buddha Caves of the Mogao Grottoes. It features mineral color painting and gold thread craftsmanship, with layered Buddha figures that seem to shift with changing light. The Buddha shadows on the cup body reveal subtle variations depending on the angle of light, reminiscent of the millennia-old cave murals flickering in candlelight, imbuing the vessel with a dynamic Zen vitality. The double-layered glaze interior color design complements amber-hued tea liquor, creating a realm where light and tea blend seamlessly. The rhythm of the overlapping Buddha shadows, coupled with the movement of gold lines refracted by light during pouring, makes this cup a vessel for meditation and quiet contemplation, aiding in focus and alleviating anxiety.
