Small Zisha teacup-30cc/35cc
This small Zisha teacup collection is defined by its use of original mineral clay, diverse forms, and true handcraftsmanship. Carefully selected Zisha clays naturally produce a range of subtle, earthy tones without artificial coloring, preserving the authentic texture and character of the material. The compact size is well-balanced and comfortable to hold, making these teacups suitable for both daily tea rituals and refined tea table arrangements.
Each teacup is entirely handmade, with artisans shaping, trimming, and refining the form according to its specific design. The bamboo-joint cup features structured lines inspired by bamboo, symbolizing elegance and resilience; the petal cup displays soft, layered contours reminiscent of blooming flowers; and the Ruyi cup offers smooth, flowing curves that represent good fortune and harmony. With multiple styles available, the collection caters to varied aesthetic tastes and tea-drinking preferences.
Zisha clay is valued for its natural breathability and thermal stability, helping to enhance tea aroma and create a smoother, more rounded flavor. The smaller capacity allows for better control during Gongfu-style tea brewing. Over time, regular use encourages the development of a gentle, lustrous patina, adding depth and character to each piece.
Whether chosen for personal use, paired with a tea set, displayed on a tea table, or presented as a culturally meaningful gift, these original mineral small Zisha teacups reflect a thoughtful balance of traditional craftsmanship, functional beauty, and enduring Chinese design.
