Know before you buy
De Hua porcelain is a historic type of white Chinese porcelain known for its high-quality kaolin clay. When fired at high temperatures, it becomes semi-translucent and develops a smooth, jade-like finish that is denser and more durable than standard ceramic.
The spherical design is actually engineered for ergonomics. The rounded shape allows the cup to nestle securely in your palm, and because the porcelain is thick and substantial, it provides a comfortable barrier against the heat of the tea.
The substantial weight and thickness of the porcelain provide excellent heat retention, keeping your tea at an ideal temperature for longer. It also gives the cup a premium, grounded feel in the hand compared to thinner, more delicate teaware.
Yes, the cup is semi-translucent due to the high-firing process used on the De Hua porcelain. When held up to a light source, you will notice a soft, warm glow passing through the walls of the cup.
No, this product is a standalone tea cup. It does not include a lid or a saucer, though it is packaged in a plush gift box for protection and presentation.
