Description
A lidded blue-and-white tea mug made distinctive by translucent rice-grain windows in the porcelain wall. Daylight passes through the tiny openings, revealing a second pattern that is easy to miss in an ordinary product photo.
Why we selected it
Rice-grain porcelain is named for the small translucent windows formed in the body before glazing. They are not painted white spots; hold the cup toward a window and the pattern quietly lights up.
What to expect
The set includes the handled cup, lid and saucer. Blue decoration frames the translucent sections, while the lid helps hold warmth between sips.
- Translucent rice-grain windows glow in backlight

Material & Craft

The Making
Rice-grain porcelain is named for the small translucent windows formed in the body before glazing. They are not painted white spots; hold the cup toward a window and the pattern quietly lights up.
Care
Hand wash to protect the fine translucent sections and dry the lid separately.
The best way to understand this cup is to hold it in front of a window. Without backlight it reads as blue-and-white porcelain; with light, the tiny translucent pattern appears. That two-stage effect is why we selected it.
