【Reunion】Rooster Hen Zodiac Cups - Small-eared Mountain-shaped Cup, Tall Mountain Cup, Tall Coffee Cup

【Reunion】Small-eared Mountain-shaped Cup Rooster | Hen Pair Set (Home) The early mornings in rural Yilan are often awakened by the crowing of roosters from one's own home or the neighbors'. Chickens are also a common sight, leisurely wandering in the courtyards of traditional three-section houses. Even tourists visiting Yilan make it a point to go to Jiaoxi to savor the must-try local delicacy, "Weng Yao Chicken." In Taiwanese folk weddings, the "leading hen" symbolizes the start of a new life and prosperity. "Couple chickens" offer blessings for a happy life together. In the Minnan dialect, "chicken" (雞) sounds like "home" (家), thus representing family reunion. Furthermore, "egg" (蛋) sounds like "generation" (代), and a hen laying eggs symbolizes passing down blessings through generations. The Sansing Siji "Reunion Chicken" tableware, designed with unique local cultural blue-and-white patterns and crafted with exquisite classic blue-and-white porcelain techniques, brings the simple beauty of Yilan life to your dining table. 【Craftsmanship】 Hand-glazed.

Due to high-temperature firing, the final shape may not be perfectly round, and each item will have slight differences in size and form. The white glaze is hand-dipped, resulting in natural flow patterns and minor marks. The hand-applied blue-and-white decal will exhibit variations in color intensity after firing. Occasional natural brown iron spots or blue glaze dots may appear.
