When I see this shaped cup I smile because that simple, wide-rimmed shape is timeless and makes slurping tea so enjoyable.
The gentle curves of the cup allow you to drink without straining your neck back. The wide rim encourages aeration and slurping and the larger surface area helps to cool your tea liquor down quickly.
The glaze on this cup has a beautiful, silky, semi-matt feel in the hands. It is naturally speckled to add a natural character to the aesthetics.
If you turn the cup over then you can see that these cups are hand-dippedin the glaze giing even more individuaity and charm to the teaware.
Simple silhouette and functional perfection with aesthetic charm - the perfect cup?
