It sits small in the palm, sized for a slow tasting pour rather than a full mug, and the surface reads almost like weathered stone, dark iron brown broken up by rust and ore coloured patches that no two cups share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rim is left a touch uneven the wabi sabi way, the walls carry the rough grip of the fired clay, and the underside keeps a small hand trimmed foot where the raw clay shows through. No handle, no printed pattern, just the honest texture of stoneware and the quiet weight of the cup against your fingers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOld rock clay body\u003c\/strong\u003e Thrown from coarse rock clay and wood fired, so the cup keeps a dense, stone like feel that holds the warmth of the tea.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWabi sabi surface\u003c\/strong\u003e The rough, matte texture and slightly uneven rim follow the Japanese idea of beauty in imperfection, never two alike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron and ore glaze\u003c\/strong\u003e Rust brown and gold ore tones surface through the dark iron body from the firing, shifting as the light moves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalm sized for tasting\u003c\/strong\u003e Holding between 70 and 110ml depending on the shape, it pours short so the tea cools to a drinkable sip fast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSix handmade shapes\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose the zen, aroma, lucky, leping, gourd or thick earth cup, each with its own profile and capacity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle free foot\u003c\/strong\u003e A small trimmed clay foot sits the cup steady on a wood tray, with no handle to break the simple form.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e tea drinkers who brew loose leaf or gongfu style at home, and anyone who likes a rustic Japanese piece on the tea tray or open shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wood firing is what gives each cup its character. Flame and ash move across the old rock clay in the kiln, pulling rust and gold ore tones out of the dark iron body and leaving a rough, stone like skin that a smooth factory glaze never matches. Small by design, the cup keeps a tasting pour warm without swamping the aroma the way a large mug does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Product Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Material: old rock clay, wood fired stoneware; Finish: iron and ore glaze over a dark body; Form: handle free tasting cup with small foot; Capacity: about 70 to 110ml by shape; Shapes: zen, aroma, lucky, leping, gourd, thick earth; Set: one single cup with protective packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow It Fits Your Routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet it on the tea tray beside the pot, pour a short measure, and let the ore tones glow while the leaves steep. The small body means the tea reaches a temperature you can actually sip within a moment, so the first cup is ready almost as soon as it is poured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween sessions the cup doubles as a quiet piece of tabletop decor, a dark stone form with a bronze shimmer that looks at home on an open shelf, a windowsill or the corner of the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo clean, rinse by hand with warm water and let it air dry so the rough clay keeps its natural, matte character. Skip the dishwasher and harsh soaps that would dull the fired surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come as a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Each order is a single cup with protective packaging, so you can add one shape at a time to a mixed tasting collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the cup?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is palm sized, roughly 6 to 7.6cm across and 4 to 5.2cm tall, holding about 70 to 110ml depending on the shape you pick.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the pattern printed?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. The rust and gold ore tones come from the wood firing on the rock clay, so they will not peel, fade or wash away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow should I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse by hand with warm water and air dry.
