Lion Dance and Ball Bell Cup / Double Lion Embroidered Ball Blue and White Cup

Double Lions and Embroidered Ball:
The lion is the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva and a symbol of warding off evil.
Hydrangeas symbolize good fortune, celebration, and a series of good things.
Therefore, the lion playing with an embroidered ball symbolizes the elimination of disasters and evil spirits, the driving away of all calamities, and the imminent arrival of good fortune.
Therefore, there is a saying: "When a lion rolls a ball, good things are yet to come."
Legend has it that when a male and female lion were playing together, their fur became tangled and rolled into a ball, from which a lion cub was born.
The auspicious embroidered ball is also known as the "embroidered ball pattern" or "embroidered ball design".

I have a particular fondness for this small blue-and-white teacup. Its shape and decorations are full of ancient charm. When I drink this fragrant tea, whether strong or weak, and watch the steam rise, it is a delightful experience.

Among tea sets, blue and white porcelain is undoubtedly the most exquisite. The blue and white glaze is vibrant, and the porcelain itself is like a person. One blue, one white, have been paired together for thousands of years.
