Know before you buy
No, these cups are not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate nature of the handcrafted Minoyaki pottery and the unique crackled glaze, we recommend hand washing them gently to preserve their finish.
Each cup holds approximately 5 ounces, or 150 ml. This size is specifically designed for traditional tea service rather than large-volume coffee servings.
Because each piece is handcrafted using traditional Japanese techniques, there will be slight variations in the pattern and glaze. This ensures that every cup and saucer is a unique work of art rather than a mass-produced item.
No, this set consists strictly of the ceramic tea cup and its matching saucer. It does not include a lid or a built-in infuser strainer.
These cups are not designed to be stackable. To prevent scratching the delicate crackled glaze, it is best to store them individually on a shelf or display them on your table.
