These cups are a canvas for the glaze, textured with a depth of colors.
There is a pleasant matte thickness to the glaze, and the cup is a perfect size and weight for a tea session.Having a set of these feels like a luxury for their simple unaffected demeanor.
The inside of the teapot remains unglazed so that one can see and feel the raw dark clay used to create this piece.Sometimes the glaze used and the clay chosen are so well suited for each other that they make the gestalt of the piece greater than the individual parts.
If you were interested in the Alchemist’s Pot, the Lotus Bulb, or the Oolong Hoarder, then these cups are for you.
Buy any three sippers and get 10% off, a quiet tribute to Chaozhou, where gongfu tea began.
