Cups & Gaiwans
Green Glazed Ceramic '2 Finger' Tea Cup 100ml
This teacup, crafted entirely by hand, is adorned with a green and brown glaze, lending it a mystique and a touch of rusticity. What's more, the specific serving shape is also known as 'two finger cups' (二指杯) in China, as it's designed to offer an ergonomic 2 finger hold. On the palate, it's comfortable to hold with either the thumb and index finger or the thumb and middle finger. Above all, the application of green and brown glaze not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the teacup but also imbues it with a character that bridges the mysterious and the rustic, a testament to the artisan's mastery over glazing techniques. Notably, with a capacity of 100ml, the teacup is perfectly sized to serve tea steeped with a small teapot or gaiwan. What's more, each teacup is individually handcrafted and subjected to kiln firing at 1200 degrees Celsius, ensuring that every piece is not only one-of-a-kind but also bears the hallmarks of high-temperature ceramic artistry. As a result, this process highlights the individuality of each teacup, with subtle variations that make every piece a distinct work of art.
