A very small teacup with a fluted lip. The soft white suet jade porcelain easily shows the true color of your tea. Perfect for gongfu brewing.
This teacup matches the Small Suet Jade Porcelain Gaiwan, and together they make a set with everything you need for a gongfu tea session. In traditional Chaozhou-style gongfu service, tea is served from the gaiwan into three small tasting cups.
Suet jade porcelain has a richness to its color that conveys warmth with its light cream tint. It uses a special glaze recipe that is fired at a very high temperature in the kiln. The result is an unusual shade of white that is soft instead of stark and a finish that is incredibly smooth and buttery-soft to the touch.
