Oriental Artisan Tea Cup

While these cups are inspired by historical museum-quality ceramics, they are fully functional and designed for daily tea rituals. Their balanced weight and smooth finish make them durable enough for regular use.

No, each cup is handcrafted and features a unique glaze style inspired by one of the five legendary Song Dynasty kilns. You can expect subtle variations in color and texture, which is a hallmark of authentic artisanal ceramics.

These cups are designed in a traditional rounded shape typical of Gongfu tea ceremonies, generally holding between 50ml and 80ml. They are intended for savoring small, concentrated pours of tea rather than large servings.

We recommend hand washing these cups with mild soap and warm water to preserve the integrity of the glazes. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting them in the dishwasher, as the delicate finishes may be prone to scratching or thermal shock.

The high-quality ceramic glaze is non-porous and neutral, ensuring that it will not retain flavors or odors from previous brews. This makes the set versatile enough to switch between different types of tea, such as oolong, green, or black.
