Know before you buy
Because this cup is handcrafted and hand-painted using delicate porcelain, we recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the finish and the integrity of the artwork.
No. Each cup is individually handcrafted and hand-painted in Jingdezhen, meaning there will be subtle variations in the glaze and brushwork that make your specific piece unique.
At approximately 100ml, this cup is perfectly sized for gongfu-style tea sessions, allowing you to enjoy multiple small, focused infusions rather than a large volume of liquid at once.
The glaze is designed to mimic the texture and appearance of aged porcelain, offering a smooth yet characterful finish that feels substantial and authentic to the touch.
The cup is crafted from fine Jingdezhen porcelain, which provides a balanced weight of about 80g. It is designed to be durable enough for daily use while maintaining the refined feel expected of high-quality artisanal teaware.
