This petite tea cup features a refined silhouette with gentle tiered contours that give it a graceful, sculpted look.
The horizontally extended handle is designed to fit a single finger comfortably, resting softly in the hand.
Using the inglaze technique—where metallic elements are infused into the glaze—a delicate, flowing pattern emerges from the rim, like a quiet stream of color. The effect is subtle, yet leaves a lasting impression.
Ideal for aromatic teas like black tea or Chinese tea, this cup adds a sense of calm and beauty to everyday rituals.

Care Instructions
Microwave and dishwasher safe.
For best preservation, avoid frequent microwave use.
When using a dishwasher, ensure that pieces do not touch—especially around the rim, which is more fragile.
To prevent staining from dark liquids, we recommend pre-use sealing (medome).
Always dry thoroughly after use to avoid mold around the unglazed foot.
