Elegant and expressive, this handcrafted Japanese raku tea cup in kung fu style transforms every tea experience into a true ritual. Made from vintage-inspired stoneware and finished with a unique kiln glaze, it adds a warm presence to your table or decor. Its rounded shape and authentically tactile finish evoke moments of slow living: a steaming tea, a quiet pause, a meaningful conversation. Designed for both private enthusiasts and professionals (tea rooms, hotels, restaurants, guesthouses), it brings a refined visual signature and a more sensory tasting experience.
A ceramic piece with unique character
Each cup displays subtle glaze variations and a textured finish that enhances the material. The stoneware, valued for its dense and mineral look, highlights both tea and herbal infusions, enhancing their colour and enhancing the feeling of warmth in your hands. Its size, with a capacity of around 101 to 200 ml, is perfect for kung fu tea practices or for a more relaxed, everyday use.
Resistant to high temperatures, this cup is ideal for regular use and brings an immediate sense of quality to your breaks. It is also microwave safe, for those seeking an aesthetic piece without sacrificing practicality.
A decorative style that fits everywhere, from Nordic minimalism to wabi-sabi
Much more than just drinkware, this ceramic cup doubles as a decorative object. Whether on a light wood tray in a Scandinavian interior, atop a dark industrial table, or in a contemporary kitchen with minimalist lines, it adds an artisanal touch that balances the space. The raku spirit, close to wabi-sabi, pairs beautifully with natural atmospheres: linen, oak, stone, sand or charcoal colours.
It finds its place in different settings:
- Living room: on a coffee table with teapot and books, for a curated decorative scene
- Dining room: for refined service during tastings
- Office: for an inspiring break, far from ordinary mugs
- Professional spaces: tea room counter, guesthouse table, courtesy tray

Its round design, glazed ceramic, and Japanese raku spirit make it an ideal choice for a harmonious service, an intimate atmosphere, and enhancing your tea moments.
