Handcrafted Golden Ceramic Teacup

A Small Vessel with Easy Warmth

This small wood-fired cup holds about 30ml, made for unhurried sips rather than perfection. Its form is slightly clumsy—intentionally so—with a single carved line running around the body, giving it a quiet sense of movement and rhythm.

After nearly two days of wood firing at around 1300°C, the clay settles into warm golden tones, touched by natural wood ash. Each cup comes out a little different, shaped as much by fire as by hand. It’s a piece meant to be used, not admired from a distance.

How It Feels

Warm, Familiar, Unforced

The wall thickness is just right—substantial enough to feel reassuring in the hand, yet comfortable even with hot tea or espresso. The surface carries subtle textures from ash and flame, offering a gentle grip without effort.

It feels honest.
Nothing sharp, nothing precious.
Just a small pause you can hold.

Why It’s Different

Simple, but Not Ordinary

• Wood-Fired Character
  Natural ash and flame create soft golden variations—no two cups are exactly the same.
• Carved Line Detail
  A single, understated line adds life without decoration overload.
• Comfortable Daily Form
  Slightly thick walls protect your fingers and suit everyday use.
• Multi-Use Friendly
  Works beautifully as a gongfu tasting cup or an espresso shot glass.

Its intentional lack of perfection makes it approachable—a cup that doesn't demand you to sit up straight, but invites you to lean back.

This is not a refined showpiece—it’s a cup that earns its place through use.

Ideal For

• Gongfu tea tasting
• Espresso or short coffee shots
• Casual tea sessions
• Ceramic lovers who enjoy wood-fired textures

Built for Daily Use

• Fired at high temperature for durability
• Comfortable heat control in the hand
• Easy to rinse and reuse
• Natural variations are part of its charm
