This Yixing Purple Clay Plum Bamboo Tea Cup has two styles to choose from. The first one is a bamboo shape.

The second one is the same style, but the color of plum blossoms is different. The two teacups are made of Yixing purple clay. The first one is the original red plum blossom of mineral mud, and the second one is yellow petals painted with yellow clay.

Therefore, the yellow plum blossom is often used as an auspicious symbol to spread spring and bring good luck. Another meaning of red plum blossom is to repose lovesickness, whether for friends or lovers, can be expressed with red plum blossom.
