Collection: Tea Cup

Gongfu tea is served in small cups, and this collection gathers ours, most between 30 and 130 ml, with a few larger cups up to 240 ml.

Choose from JianZhan (tenmoku) cups with oil-drop, partridge-spot and dragon-scale glazes; Jingdezhen blue-and-white (Qing Hua Ci) cups painted under the glaze; Ru kiln and Jun kiln running glazes; celadon, milk-white, flambé and rust-glazed porcelain; rustic hand-painted pottery; and heat-resistant borosilicate glass. Patterns range from lotus, fish and plum blossom to calligraphy and the Four Gentlemen.

Most listings let you buy one cup or several, from 1 to 6 pieces, and some are sold as sets of four. Several cups come with a matching gaiwan, pitcher or strainer in the same glaze, chosen from the options on the product page. Pair them with a gaiwan or Yixing teapot from our teaware range.
