Know before you buy
Because each cup is hand-fired at 1300°C, the glaze patterns are unique to every individual piece. You can expect a similar aesthetic, but the specific distribution of the 'Silver Blue Mudan' colors will vary.
The dense stoneware construction is designed to retain heat exceptionally well, which helps maintain the temperature of your tea throughout the session. Its thick walls provide a substantial feel and a neutral surface that won't interfere with the flavor profile of your tea.
While the cup is a beautiful example of Song Dynasty-inspired artistry, it is fully functional and built for daily use. Its durable, heavy-duty stoneware construction is designed to withstand regular tea rituals.
The cup holds 120ml, or approximately 4.06 ounces. This size is ideal for traditional gongfu tea brewing or for enjoying a concentrated, high-quality cup of tea.
We recommend hand-washing the cup with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it in the dishwasher to preserve the integrity of the unique glaze.
