Three motifs and several box options, each sold on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Master Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn gongfu tea, the \u003cstrong\u003emaster cup\u003c\/strong\u003e (主人杯, zhǔrén bēi) is the cup the host keeps for themselves — larger than the small tasting cups passed to guests, and chosen with care because it will be held, rinsed, and refilled all through a session. It is the most personal piece on the tea table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Wanfo Motif\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWanfo\u003c\/strong\u003e means “ten thousand Buddhas” — the Chinese way of saying countless. The motif repeats the seated Buddha across the cup's surface, so the eye rests on a quiet, meditative field rather than a single image. It suits the cup's purpose: a small, steady object for slow mornings and unhurried tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSilver-Gilding\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cup is finished with \u003cstrong\u003e鎏银\u003c\/strong\u003e (liú yín), a silver-gilded surface that catches the light as the tea moves. Against the ceramic the silver reads calm and cool — a quieter shine than gold, in keeping with the Zen mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Motifs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose from three designs:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWanfo\u003c\/strong\u003e (万佛) — ten thousand Buddhas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeven Bowls of Tea\u003c\/strong\u003e (七碗茶) — after the Tang poem by Lu Tong, in which seven bowls of tea carry the drinker from thirst to a kind of lightness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJoy\u003c\/strong\u003e (喜乐) — a wish for happiness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach piece is listed as its own option:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster cup in a color gift box (all three motifs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWanfo master cup in a plain gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWanfo master cups, two-cup gift box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWanfo gaiwan + master cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWanfo rattan-handle teapot + master cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash to protect the silver-gilded surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse with warm water and air-dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid abrasive scrubbers and harsh detergents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Quiet Cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe master cup is tea's most private ritual — a cup no one else drinks from, kept for the person pouring.
