Material & craft

This novelty tea cup turns a simple tea moment into a small conversation. The thin translucent white porcelain cup has a rounded pointed bottom, so it sits inside a matching saucer with a swirled well. Filled with amber tea, the glossy porcelain glows delicately in bright light.

Why we selected it

Use it on a clean bright surface with amber tea, a small green sprig, or a colorful cloth nearby. It is perfect for cheerful product photos and everyday delight.

Before you order

Questions buyers actually ask.

Why the pointed bottom?
It is a playful take on the ancient pointed-base cup, which cannot stand alone — so this one rests in its own swirl cradle saucer. Conversation piece and tea cup in one.
Will it tip over?
Seated in its cradle well, it sits securely. Out of the saucer it is meant to be held — which is rather the point of the design.
Is the glaze glossy or matte?
Glossy white throughout, which shows the cup's curves cleanly and makes tea color easy to read.

Perfect for travel. The carry case is firm and everything slots into place so nothing rattles around. Took it on a weekend trip and did a full gongfu session in the hotel room. Small but totally functional — exactly what I wanted.

The rice-grain effect is magic. The linglong (rice-grain) windows are even cooler in real life — hold it up to the light and those tiny translucent dots just glow. Holds a proper amount of tea and the lid keeps it warm. This is officially my new desk mug.

Daughter is obsessed. So cute! Got it for my daughter and she's obsessed with feeding it coins. The red is vibrant with a nice glossy finish, and it's good quality for the price. A cheerful little shelf friend.
