Blue & White Famille Rose Mandarin Fish Yulan Teacup

Centered on the auspicious idea of “Nian Nian You Gui” — prosperity year after year, this Yulan 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 brings warmth and movement to the composition. Gardenia yellow illuminates the body, purple-brown tones define its natural markings, soft violet adds lightness to the fins, and refined gilded details complete the design.

The slender Yulan form gently opens toward the rim, giving the swimming fish and aquatic plants room to unfold across the porcelain.

Quiet cobalt and vivid color meet in a graceful vessel filled with movement, vitality, and auspicious meaning.

Story Inspiration

Aquatic plants rise gently through the water as a mandarin fish swims between them.

Huashan creates the quiet underwater landscape in cobalt blue and brings the fish to life through famille rose color.

Deep blue gives rhythm to the aquatic plants, warm yellow illuminates the body, purple-brown markings reveal the fish’s natural character, soft violet brings movement to its fins, and gilded details add a final touch of brilliance.

The slender Yulan form allows this underwater scene to rise naturally across the vessel, emphasizing the graceful movement of the fish.

The mandarin fish also carries two layers of Chinese wordplay.

Gui in guiyu (鳜鱼) echoes gui (贵), associated with prosperity and distinction, inspiring “Nian Nian You Gui” — prosperity year after year.

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

Together, they turn the swimming fish into a wish for prosperity and abundance that continue through time.
