Product Description 

Small in size yet rich in character, this handcrafted wood-fired Jianshui purple pottery tea cup (Style 12) is shaped entirely by hand and fired in a traditional wood kiln. Throughout the long firing process, flame, ash, and time interact naturally with the pottery, creating organic textures and subtle tonal variations that ensure no two cups are ever the same.

As the cup moves through the kiln, natural ash settles unevenly across its surface, leaving behind gentle color shifts and kiln markings that cannot be replicated. These quiet, fire-born details are a defining feature of authentic wood-fired craftsmanship and serve as a visual record of each piece’s unique journey.

With an estimated capacity of approximately 55ml, this petite tea cup is ideal for gongfu tea tasting, especially for high-aroma teas or focused, mindful sessions. Its compact, lightweight form sits comfortably in the hand, while the dense yet breathable Jianshui clay body helps preserve clean, expressive tea flavor.

Finished with warm earthy tones and understated kiln movement, this tea cup reflects the refined simplicity of traditional craftsmanship. Each piece is completely one of a kind and will not be restocked once sold, making it a special choice for collectors and lovers of wood-fired pottery.
