Arita-Yaki Small Porcelain Teacup
A very simple, yet elegante hand-made teacup. Made in Arita Japan out of white kaolin clay, the pure white color of this Japanese ceramic cup will help you evaluate any green tea's inherent color and to compare it against other green teas. The teacup itself is rather small, but it is exactly this kind of teacup that one often encounters in tea shops throught Japan.
Measures 7.4 cm wide x 4.2 cm high (2.9 inches wide x 1.65 inches tall).
Holds about close to 70 ml (2.4 oz) when filled to the rim.

Leo Kongaoût 27, 2020, 22:27Very white, well balanced and thin walled cup. At close inspection, you can see spirals around the walls of the cup, suggesting it was made on a wheel. The bottom unglazed ring is robust and does not stick to dirt, indicating high quality hard paste porcelain.
