Know before you buy
De Hua Jade Porcelain is a high-quality ceramic known for its dense, glass-like composition and semi-translucent appearance. It is fired at higher temperatures than standard porcelain, resulting in a more durable material that retains heat exceptionally well.
The spherical, flared-rim design is engineered to fit naturally in the palm of your hand, providing a secure and comfortable grip. The flared rim also helps to slightly cool the tea as you sip, making it easier to enjoy hot beverages.
While the cup has a solid, substantial weight, it is still porcelain and should be handled with the same care as any fine tea ware. Avoid sudden temperature shocks or impact against hard surfaces to prevent chipping or cracking.
Yes, the high-firing process creates a material that allows light to pass through, which beautifully highlights the color and clarity of your tea. This effect is particularly striking with lighter teas like green or white varieties.
While the high-fired porcelain is durable, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the finish and prevent accidental damage. We generally advise against using fine porcelain in the microwave to avoid potential thermal stress.
