Three Jewels gold gilded porcelain Tea popular or Coffee mug with lid and coaster

Hand painted (12 karat) gold gilded porcelain mug with lid and coaster. The three jewels are three different expressions of awakened mind: buddha, dharma, and sangha. Each of these is a precious and necessary element of the Buddhist path, and so they are called the three jewels.

The tradition of hand painted, gold gilded pottery dates back hundreds of years to ancient Siam (Thailand), where it popular was used for religious ceremonies and reserved for use by royalty.
