Know before you buy
The wood-firing process creates unique variations in the glaze and texture, meaning no two cups are exactly alike. You may notice slight glaze pitting or color shifts, which are intentional characteristics of this artisanal method rather than defects.
No, this cup is not microwave or dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it gently with mild soap to preserve the integrity of the porcelain and the hand-painted design.
This cup has a capacity of 50 ml, or approximately 1.69 ounces. It is specifically designed for traditional tea ceremonies where smaller, concentrated servings are preferred.
The cup is designed with a traditional handle-less shape, which is standard for Chinese tea service. Because it is small and intended for sipping, the porcelain is easy to cradle in your hands, though you should be mindful if the tea is served at a very high temperature.
This cup features a detailed pattern that reflects an antique Chinese aesthetic. Given its handmade nature and wood-fired finish, the design is integrated into the artisanal process, providing a much more authentic look than mass-produced decals.
