Product Description

This handcrafted Kai Pian tea cup from Jingdezhen is the perfect companion to the matching Gaiwan — a refined expression of authentic tea culture and timeless ceramic artistry.

The traditional Kai Pian crackle glaze creates a living surface that evolves naturally with every use. As tea essences gently settle into the fine crackle pattern, the cup develops a unique, personal patina over time — transforming each piece into an intimate reflection of its owner’s tea journey.

The softly matte eggshell-white glaze is subtly enhanced by a delicate blue accent, adding depth and a quiet modern elegance without disturbing the cup’s calm, minimalist presence. The result is a tea cup that feels serene, balanced, and visually harmonious.

Thanks to its thick-walled construction and carefully balanced proportions, the cup retains heat gently while remaining comfortable to hold. Its smooth rim and pleasant weight create a grounded, mindful drinking experience — ideal for Gong Fu Cha, refined teas, or everyday tea moments.

Each tea cup is entirely handmade from fine Jingdezhen porcelain, uniting function, tradition, and understated beauty in a small yet meaningful work of art.
