Know before you buy
This teacup holds approximately 130ml, or about 4.4 ounces, making it ideal for traditional gongfu tea sessions.
The ruyao glaze is designed to develop a unique, crackled pattern known as crazing as it absorbs tea oils through regular use. This process gives the cup a personalized, aged aesthetic that evolves the more you drink from it.
No, this cup is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the integrity of the ceramic and the delicate crackled glaze.
Because each cup is individually handmade, there will be subtle variations in the glaze finish and the placement of the skull motif. These differences are a natural part of the artisanal process and ensure that every piece is one-of-a-kind.
This cup is designed without a handle or insulation. It is intended to be held directly, so please be mindful of the temperature when pouring hot tea.
