White Porcelain Frosted / Lidded Tea Cup - Kintsugi Lid

An elegant V-shaped lidded cup that cradles the warmth of tea, offering a perfect capacity for a mindful brew. Whether enjoyed in solitude or shared in conversation, it fills the air with just the right amount of fragrance. This white ceramic teacup, enveloped in a soft, frosted glaze, feels warm and smooth to the touch. The body of the cup reveals the natural hue of the white porcelain clay, subtly showing through the thin layer of frosted glaze. The rim intentionally retains a wave-like texture, without a glossy finish. The glaze is exceptionally thin, lending it a slightly rough, earthy texture. The lid is shaped with Kintsugi artistry, adorning the translucent porcelain lid with a discreet, dark gold. The gold lacquer spreads outwards, sprinkled with subtle pink dust, creating a interplay of grey and gold. It resembles tree shadows on snow, radiating from the center, a profound trace of a life lived. _ White porcelain is denser than earthenware, making it suitable for hot foods and soups. However, like all ceramics, prolonged contact with liquids can cause condensation to form at the bottom. It is recommended to use a coaster when placing the cup on precious wooden tables or cabinets. The frosted glaze effect on the interior of the cup creates texture, meaning the surface is not perfectly smooth and may retain tea stains. The rim and interior of the cup retain handmade marks, not smoothed into a perfect, uniform curve. The lid preserves the mottled, diffused color from the Kintsugi application. Due to the wave-like effect on the rim, the lid may not fit perfectly flush, leaving small gaps when closed. Perfectionists, please take note. _ │Specifications│ Material: White porcelain clay, frosted glaze, lacquer Dimensions: Ø9 (rim); H6.3; Ø8 (lid) (cm) Weight: Approx. 203 g (Lid 30g; Cup 173g) Capacity: Approx. 100 ml (measured to the lid's height) Color: Matte frosted glaze revealing white porcelain clay hue, Kintsugi pink dust and black-grey lacquer │Cleaning Instructions│ Matte glazes are more prone to tea stains and dark food marks than glossy ones.
