Ox Tea Cup
Ox Tea Cup
JESSE SAYS: I hired an artist in China to paint this Ox for us in traditional Chinese painting style. My art direction?
“Make him thicc. Make him derpy.”
CALLIGRAPHY AND PUNS
We hired a calligrapher to hand-write the phrase “牛转乾坤” Níu Zhuǎn Qián Kūn, a phrase that means, “To turn things around.”
The original “Chengyu” phrase is 扭转乾坤 - the first character 扭 Níu (To twist) has been replaced by 牛 Níu (Ox) so we can play both a linguistic and visual pun with our twisting Ox art.
After a chaotic 2025, I personally have been hoping that many things turn around, and while drinking from an ox cup with a pun on it might not be enough to turn things around by itself, it also totally might be enough to turn things around by itself.
With a capacity of 80 ml, this Ox cup is a fantastic addition to our zodiac series and closes out the series in style.
