Handmade Lacquer Silver Dragon Douli Cup (Bamboo-Hat Cup) with Crystal Glaze – Chinese Urushi Art | Oriental Home Decor Gift
$148.00
A handcrafted crystal glass cup combined with traditional lacquer artistry, featuring a hand-painted silver dragon encircling the exterior.
Using “Piao lacquer” techniques and fine hand painting, the flowing lines of the dragon create a sense of movement and continuity across the surface.
Inside, against the dark glass base, a subtle silver butterfly emerges — visible only under certain light, adding a quiet layer of detail.
The contrast between the transparent body and the lacquer decoration creates a lighter, more contemporary expression while retaining traditional craftsmanship.
Suitable for tea or espresso, it offers both visual clarity and symbolic depth.
Each piece is naturally unique.

A Dragon in Motion. A Butterfly in Light.
A handcrafted crystal glass cup combining traditional Chinese lacquer art with modern glass craftsmanship.
- Hand-painted silver dragon design
- Hidden butterfly revealed under light
- Each piece individually crafted
The Story Behind This Cup
This is not a printed design.
Each silver dragon is hand-painted using traditional lacquer techniques, applied stroke by stroke on crystal glass.
The flowing body of the dragon is designed to follow the curvature of the cup, creating a sense of movement even when the cup is still.
The Hidden Detail
Inside the cup, a silver butterfly is quietly embedded into the base design.
It is not immediately visible.
Only when light passes through the glass does it appear — as if it has always been there.
Crafted Using Traditional Piao Lacquer Technique
- Hand-applied lacquer layers
- Fine silver pigment detailing
- Multiple firing and finishing stages
- No two pieces are identical
Each cup is individually finished by hand.
Designed for Everyday Rituals
- Morning espresso ritual
- Afternoon tea moment
- Desk meditation object
- Gift for collectors
This is not just a cup — it is a presence on your table.
Each Piece is Unique
Due to the hand-painted nature of the work:
- No two dragons are identical
- No butterfly appears in the same way
- Each cup has its own character
Once sold, it cannot be exactly reproduced.

Experience the balance of fire, glass, and craftsmanship.
