Know before you buy
The wide rim is specifically engineered to allow delicate tea leaves to breathe, which helps preserve and highlight the subtle aromatic profiles of green and white teas. Its thin-walled porcelain construction also provides a refined mouthfeel that complements these lighter brews.
No, this cup is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate, thin-walled nature of the handcrafted porcelain and the traditional glaze, we recommend hand washing with mild soap to preserve its finish.
Because each cup is individually handcrafted in Jingdezhen using traditional techniques, there will be subtle variations in the glaze and form. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and mean your piece will be one-of-a-kind.
The cup is designed to be held by the sides or the base. While the thin porcelain is excellent for tea, it does not provide insulation, so we recommend handling it carefully when filled with boiling water.
Qingbai, or 'bluish-white,' is a historic glaze style dating back to the Song Dynasty. It is prized for its translucent, jade-like shimmer, which is achieved here by firing local kaolin clay at temperatures exceeding 1300 °C.
