Bring understated rustic elegance to your daily tea ritual with this one-of-a-kind hand-thrown Japanese iron rust glaze tea cup. Designed for single-serve gongfu cha tasting, this 5oz (150ml) cup balances natural beauty, durable craftsmanship, and thoughtful ergonomics for a more immersive tea drinking experience.
Unique Handcrafted Aesthetic
The cup features a signature 鉄さび釉 (tetsu sabi yū / iron rust glaze) finish, with deep warm brown and burnt orange mottled textures that mimic the soft, weathered patina of aged iron. No two cups share identical patterns — each piece is a unique work of art that brings quiet wabi-sabi charm to your tea table, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and natural variation.
We offer two subtle silhouette variations to match your preference:
- Style A: Rounded low-profile body with a barely-there foot for a full, comfortable grip
- Style B: Defined short foot for a structured, refined silhouette
Premium Quality & Craftsmanship
Each cup is crafted from high-purity kaolin clay and fired at extreme high temperatures to create a sturdy, chip-resistant finish meant to be enjoyed for generations. The porous ceramic structure retains heat perfectly to keep your tea at the ideal drinking temperature, while the neutral, lead-free glaze won’t interfere with the natural flavor of your sencha, matcha, hojicha, or any other tea you love.
Designed for modern everyday use, this tea cup is safe for the microwave, oven, and dishwasher for easy care.
