Handcrafted from durable ceramic and finished with a smooth matte glaze, this four-piece tea cup set pays homage to classic Chinese tea aesthetics while embracing modern form. With generous capacity and simple elegance, each piece invites a quiet moment of stillness—whether in a traditional gongfu tea session or a personal daily ritual.
 
Three cups feature different animals which each have their own symbolism:
 
Horse – speed, strength, perseverance, forward motion; often symbolises success or ambition.
 
Fish – abundance, wealth, harmony; especially in Chinese culture, where fish ('yu') is a homophone for 'surplus.'
 
Stork – longevity, elegance, spiritual transcendence; often linked to peace and auspicious life.
 
Why we love it:
 
Timeless Craftsmanship
Each cup is slip-cast and finished with a minimal, matte glaze for a look that’s both refined and rooted. The raw ceramic base reveals the material’s natural warmth, providing a beautiful contrast to the smooth upper finish.
 
Comfort in Every Sip
Designed with mindful ergonomics, the gently tapered form feels secure in the palm, while the smooth rim provides a pleasant lip feel. Heat retention is excellent, yet the cup remains comfortable to hold—perfect for green, oolong, or black teas.
 
Versatile and Intentional
Whether you’re hosting a serene tea ceremony or simply taking a moment for yourself, these cups bring calm and cohesion to your tea ritual. Their understated beauty allows them to shine alone or harmonise in a set.
 
We hope you love it!
