Product Description

Welcome to Qilin ArtX, where the mystical octopus becomes a symbol of boundless prosperity, and a drinking vessel transforms into a conversation piece. This is not merely a cup – it is a talisman for attracting fortune, a showcase of virtuoso silversmithing, and a delight to hold.

The Octopus that Brings Wealth
In Chinese tradition, the octopus (八爪鱼) carries a powerful meaning: “eight directions, eight fortunes.” The number eight (八, bā) is a homophone for “prosperity” (发, fā), and the octopus’s eight arms reach out in every direction, symbolizing the ability to draw wealth from all sides. Moreover, in feng shui, water is the source of wealth; as a creature of the sea, the octopus is believed to gather and retain financial energy. Its strong, flexible tentacles grip tightly, as if holding onto good fortune. This cup embodies that wish – a daily reminder that abundance flows to those who are open to receive it.

Handcrafted Details & Authentic Materials

• Solid Sterling Silver (S925): The cup is cast from high‑purity 925 sterling silver, with a total weight of approximately 250 grams (8.8 oz). The silver has a warm, luminous sheen that develops a rich patina over time, growing more beautiful with use.

• Sculptural Octopus Handle: The handle is not attached to the cup – it is the cup’s extension. A fully sculpted octopus wraps its tentacles around the body, with two arms forming the grip. Each tentacle is individually shaped, with subtle curves and a slightly textured underside that mimics real suction cups. The eyes are set with tiny silver highlights, giving the creature an alert, almost mischievous expression.

• Seamless Integration: The octopus is cast as part of the cup body, not soldered on, ensuring structural integrity and a continuous flow of silver from rim to base. The interior is smooth and polished, perfect for sipping tea, coffee, or spirits.

• Hand‑Finished: Every piece is hand‑polished, hand‑detailed, and inspected by master silversmiths. Minor variations in the tentacles’ curves or the polish’s brightness are the marks of authentic craftsmanship.

Size & Presence

• Height: Approximately 8–9 cm (3.1–3.5 inches)

• Diameter: Approximately 7–8 cm (2.8–3.1 inches)

• Weight: 250 g (8.8 oz) – substantial yet comfortable in the hand

The cup holds about 120–150 ml (4–5 oz), perfect for a serving of tea, an espresso, or a small dram of whiskey.

A Note on Craftsmanship
Each cup is individually cast using the lost‑wax method, then hand‑finished. The octopus’s tentacles are delicate; while they are strong enough for daily use, we recommend gentle handling. Over time, the silver will naturally oxidize, creating beautiful dark highlights in the crevices – a feature that many collectors prize.
