Dunhuang Academy Tea Cup Set – Inspired by the Mogao Caves

Drink tea with the spirit of a thousand years.

This Dunhuang Research Academy Tea Cup Set includes four cups (8.5 cm diameter × 4.5 cm height each), crafted with inspiration from the magnificent Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, one of the world’s greatest cultural treasures. 

The Mogao Caves, located on the ancient Silk Road in northwest China, are a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for their exquisite Buddhist murals and sculptures. For over a millennium, they stood as a crossroads of civilizations — where Chinese, Indian, Persian, and Greco-Roman influences merged into a dazzling fusion of art and spirituality.

Each cup in this set features a design at the base reminiscent of the “caisson ceilings” (藻井) in the caves, creating a sense of infinite depth and imagination as you enjoy your tea.

Set Features:

• 4 tea cups, each with unique glaze colors:
  
• Stone Blue (石青) – Calm and serene, like the vast night sky
• Earth Red (土红) – Passionate and powerful, like fire and strength
• Ochre Yellow (赫黄) – Deep and profound, evoking desert grandeur
• Stone Green (石绿) – Fresh and vibrant, symbolizing vitality and hope

📌 From the Silk Road to your tea table — this set carries the spirit of Dunhuang’s timeless fusion of East and West.
