Adrian 1 S. The carving is sharp and the cup feels substantial. A true collector's item.
This jade porcelain cup carries a soft translucency that comes alive when tea is poured in. Light passes gently through the body, revealing a subtle glow that feels calm rather than decorative. Delicate landscape painting rests quietly on the surface—never loud, never dominant—like scenery seen through morning mist.
The rim is finished with a purple copper “Kou” wrap, a traditional metal-rim technique that strengthens the lip while adding a restrained accent of warmth and weight. This cup is created under Kevin’s direction, bringing together classical ceramic language with a contemporary sense of restraint.
The purple copper rim isn't just a golden crown; it's a promise of durability, adding a grounding weight to the ethereal porcelain.
A Cup That Slows the Moment
In the hand, the cup feels balanced and reassuring. The jade porcelain body holds warmth gently, while the copper-rimmed mouth gives a subtle tactile contrast when you sip. The subtle metallic touch of the copper rim meets the warmth of the tea, creating a unique sensory threshold before the first sip.Tea color appears clear and luminous inside, making each infusion feel calm, focused, and intentional.
It’s the kind of cup that invites you to pause—not because it demands attention, but because it quietly earns it.
“I like cups that don’t explain themselves.
They simply wait for tea—and for time.”
— Kevin
This is not a cup made to be collected and shelved.
It’s made to be used—slowly, often, and with attention.
