Noble Cups

The 4 Noblemen, or 4 Gentlemen, are a group of four different plants that are highly prized in eastern Asian cultures, with each plant representing one of the four seasons: plum blossoms represent winter, orchids represent spring, bamboo represents summer, and chrysanthemums represent autumn. Each plant also has various symbolic meanings, such as plum blossoms representing hope, orchids representing beauty, bamboo representing strength, and chrysanthemums representing longevity.

Our Noble Cups feature these four designs and are hand-crafted and hand-painted in Dehua County, an area world-renown for its quality of porcelain ware.

Able to hold approximately 3.7 ounces (or 110 mL), these cups are available individually or in a boxed set with all four designs.
