Know before you buy
The unglazed exterior provides a natural, matte texture that offers a secure grip. It feels earthy and tactile, contrasting nicely with the smooth, glazed interior.
No, this cup is not dishwasher or microwave safe. We recommend hand washing it gently to preserve the integrity of the stoneware and the celadon glaze.
The tapered shape is designed to fit comfortably in your hand, allowing you to cradle the cup. While stoneware retains heat well, the thickness of the material helps insulate your fingers from the immediate temperature of the tea inside.
This cup holds 175ml, or approximately 5.92 ounces. It is specifically sized for traditional tea service, making it ideal for enjoying a focused, single serving of tea.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the smooth celadon glaze makes the interior easy to clean and prevents tea tannins from staining the porous stoneware. It also provides a beautiful, light-colored backdrop that highlights the natural hues of your tea liquor.
