Description
This teacup features a lively koi swimming among flourishing blossoms. Peonies, chrysanthemums, and leafy branches unfold around the fish in layered cobalt brushwork, creating a composition filled with movement and vitality.
The floral branches continue from the exterior into the interior of the cup, creating a seamless composition across the vessel. The koi among abundant flowers expresses the idea of “Jin Shang Tian Hua” (锦上添花)—making something already beautiful even better—while the koi also recalls the traditional imagery of leaping over the Dragon Gate, associated with advancement and achievement.
With its rounded rim, deep body, and ring foot, the cup balances a comfortable drinking experience with the elegance of traditional porcelain form.

A koi among blossoms, beauty added upon beauty.
The Chinese expression “Jin Shang Tian Hua” (锦上添花) literally describes adding flowers to beautiful brocade. Over time, it came to express a simple but meaningful wish: to make something already good even better.
Huashan transforms this idea into a continuous porcelain painting.
A koi moves through peonies, chrysanthemums, and flourishing branches, while the flowers extend across the vessel and into the interior of the cup.
The koi introduces another traditional association—the story of the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, an enduring symbol of advancement, transformation, and achievement.
Together, fish and flowers turn the cup into a wish for life to continue moving toward greater beauty and fulfillment.
May every success lead to another, and every beautiful moment become even better.
