Authentic Hand-Painted Vintage Japanese Crane Tea Cup
Crafted from high-fired ceramic for everyday tea enjoyment, this compact 3.4oz (100ml) Japanese teacup is designed for elegant single-serve品茗 (hinmei, tea tasting), bringing timeless Japanese aesthetic and cultural meaning to your daily tea ritual.
Unique Design & Details
- A hand-painted flying crane (tsuru) adorns the cup, detailed with soft white plumage, a vivid red crown, and striking black tail feathers that pop beautifully against the cup’s muted vintage distressed green-black base with natural mottled texture, giving each cup a one-of-a-kind aged look.
- The interior is finished in clean matte white, letting you clearly observe your tea’s color while adding a bright, balanced contrast to the rich exterior.
- Measuring 2.8 inches (7cm) in diameter by 2 inches (5cm) tall, this compact cup fits comfortably in your hand for casual sipping or formal tea ceremonies.
Cultural Meaning
In Japanese culture, the tsuru (crane) is a beloved symbol of longevity, good fortune, and elegance. This makes the cup a thoughtful gift for tea lovers and elders, or a special addition to your own ceramic tea collection.
Premium Quality & Use
