Know before you buy
No, this teacup is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate nature of the artisanal crackle glaze and stoneware material, we recommend hand-washing it gently to preserve its finish.
Because each piece is crafted by hand using a traditional crackle glaze technique, you should expect slight variations in color and pattern. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that no two cups are identical.
No, this teacup is designed without a handle, following the traditional Japanese style. The wide, round shape is intended to be cradled comfortably in your hands, allowing you to feel the warmth of the tea.
Yes, the crackle glaze finish provides a distinct, tactile texture that sets it apart from smooth, mass-produced ceramics. This texture is a key feature of the design, reflecting the traditional Japanese ceramic mastery behind the piece.
This teacup is not insulated. While the stoneware construction provides a sturdy feel, it does not have double-wall insulation, so it will lose heat at a standard rate similar to traditional ceramic drinkware.
