Blue & White Famille Rose Mandarin Fish Incense Burner–Form Teacup

Centered on the auspicious idea of “Nian Nian You Gui” — prosperity year after year, this teacup combines traditional blue-and-white porcelain with vivid famille rose painting.

Layered cobalt aquatic plants create a tranquil underwater setting, while the mandarin fish becomes the vivid focal point. Warm gardenia yellow defines the body, purple-brown tones recreate its natural markings, soft violet adds movement to the fins, and refined gilded details complete the composition.

The grounded, rounded form of the cup contrasts with the lively movement of the fish. Stillness and motion come together in one vessel, balancing traditional form with the vitality of nature.

Story Inspiration

Aquatic plants sway gently as a mandarin fish moves through the water.

Huashan uses cobalt blue to create the stillness of the underwater landscape, while famille rose colors bring the fish to life.

Deep blue defines the aquatic plants, warm yellow illuminates the body, purple-brown markings add natural detail, soft violet brings movement to the fins, and gilded accents complete the composition.

Against this lively scene, the rounded incense burner–inspired form brings a sense of stability and balance.

The fish also carries two layers of auspicious Chinese wordplay.

Gui in guiyu (鳜鱼), mandarin fish, echoes gui (贵), associated with prosperity and distinction—giving rise to “Nian Nian You Gui,” prosperity year after year.

Yu (鱼), fish, echoes yu (余), abundance or surplus—recalling “Nian Nian You Yu,” abundance year after year.

Together, they express a simple wish:

may prosperity be gathered, and may abundance remain.
