Handcrafted Vintage Japanese Fairness Cup (Gong Dao Bei)

This hand-thrown ceramic fairness cup (known as yumori 湯盛 in traditional Japanese tea practice) is designed to bring balanced flavor and understated rustic beauty to your tea ritual. Holding 6oz (180ml) of brewed tea, it is perfectly sized for most traditional tea sessions.

Unique Design & Finish

This pitcher features a stunning hand-glazed gradient finish: it transitions from deep warm brown at the base to soft muted sage green across the body, accented by natural crackle glaze texture that gives each piece a one-of-a-kind vintage character. A thin crisp white trim lines the pouring spout and rim for subtle contrast, while the light interior lets you easily see tea color and clarity.

We offer two profile options to match your tea aesthetic:

Style A: Slender elongated profile for a sleek minimalist look
Style B: Rounded fuller body for a more traditional, grounded feel

Functional Details for Everyday & ceremonial Use

Crafted from food-safe ceramic: neutral in flavor, so it preserves the true aroma and taste of your tea, with gentle insulation to keep your brew warm longer than glass alternatives
Precision curved spout designed for smooth flowing pours and clean, drip-free stops, no messy drips on your tea mat
Ergonomically shaped body fits comfortably in your hand for steady pouring
