This is a small ceramic teacup made in porcelain, finished with a streaked kiln-change glaze that gives each cup a varied surface pattern rather than a flat, single-tone finish. It holds 110 ml, a size suited to kung fu tea serving or small coffee portions. The cup has no handle and no saucer. The glaze is dishwasher and microwave safe, though hand washing helps preserve the finish over repeated use.
Features
- Rounded ceramic body with a narrow unglazed foot ring that lifts the cup slightly off the table surface
- In-glaze decoration technique fuses the color pattern into the surface during firing, so the design will not wear off with washing
- Glossy interior glaze creates a smooth surface that is easy to rinse clean after each use
- 110 ml capacity sized for kung fu tea serving portions rather than full-size mug servings
- Microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe rating allows reheating and machine washing without special handling
