With the success of our Blue Hare’s Fur collection, it was natural to expand it to include the missing required elements to prepare a full-fledged Taiwanese Tea Ceremony. Essential to this is the Aroma Cup. This humble little tall cup is a vivid example of how the tea rituals have continued to evolve and develop on this small island. This cup style is not only made in Taiwan, it was designed and first used here back in the 1980’s. It is used alongside a second cup that will be used for drinking the liqueur. This one, as it name implies, has a specific function. It first receives the liqueur from the tea maker which will afterwards be poured by the participant in the drinking cup. The residual liqueur that coats the interior is enough to reveal the aroma of the tea which is further concentrated by the tall shape that funnels the scents when one brings the cup to its nose. This particular design has a similar funnel shape and size as our Ivory Porcelain model. It is moulded to ensure consistency in shape when considering a set of them. Nevertheless, this is far from being a mass-produced item as these cups are moulded one by one and corrected individually by an apprentice before being handed over to Master Quan for firing and glazing. This is further exemplified by the dazzling Tianmu 天目 (called Tenmoku in Japan) blue hare’s glaze executed with vibrant cobalt blue accents that will perfectly match any item in our Blue Hare’s Fur collection. Finally, you may wish to pair this fine cup with matching drinking cups and saucers which are offered as grouped sets. Like all the work featured in our Handcrafted section, each item is made one by one and is signed and dated by the artist. Handmade in Taiwan.
