Out of the many items we've from renowned ceramist Bai Zong-Ping, this is the one we've selected for its pure, unadorned lines and study in functional aesthetics. The material and shape of this cup make it a perfect choice for darker teas, either more oxidized, fermented or baked ones – or any combination aforementioned. The pumice enriched clay's porosity and mineral content makes it a perfect memory cup that will heighten your drinking experience with time. It is highly recommended that you dedicate this cup to a particular style of tea, just like you would do with a prized clay pot, to further enhance its intrinsic characteristics. Function is further enhanced by the stunning ground finish that adorns the outer surface of the cup making is a pleasure to behold and touch! Finally, we can't help but point out the appealing sweet aroma of the cup when pouring warm water inside, thus further inviting the owner to cradle a fine tea in it! Needless to say, this item is unique, signed by the artist, and proudly handcrafted in Taiwan. Each sold individually.
