Know before you buy
The cup features a reactive metallic glaze that shifts in appearance when exposed to the heat of your tea. As you fill it, the surface develops a distinct antique gold sheen, creating a unique visual experience with every pour.
No, this cup is neither microwave nor dishwasher safe. We recommend hand washing it gently with mild soap to preserve the integrity of the metallic finish and the ceramic material.
This teacup has a capacity of 85ml, or approximately 2.8 ounces. It is designed specifically for traditional tea ceremonies or small, concentrated servings of tea.
While the ceramic is durable and high-fired, it does not have insulation. Because it lacks a handle, you will feel the warmth of the tea through the walls of the cup, which is typical for traditional tea-tasting vessels.
The cup is crafted through a high-temperature firing process at 1330°C. This creates a dense, hardened ceramic that is significantly more durable than standard earthenware, making it well-suited for regular use.
