Find quiet mountain-lake serenity in every brew
“Blending the centuries-old wheel-thrown craftsmanship of Jingdezhen with a subtle natural glaze finish, this stoneware Round-Bellied Tea Cup features a textured clay body layered with hand-brushed lake-green glaze that softly blends and merges during high-temperature firing.
The form begins with a gently open rim before drawing slightly inward through a short shoulder transition. From there, the body expands into a full, rounded belly and curves softly back toward a small foot ring, creating a layered silhouette with a clear sense of rim, shoulder, and body.
With its low center of gravity and compact 60 ml capacity, the cup feels substantial yet intimate in the hand — a balanced scale for small gongfu pours and unhurried tasting.
As part of TeaTsy's debut stoneware series, this minimalist cup carries the soft hue of mountain lake waters; its clean, restrained form builds a calm, unhurried tea ritual to ground your senses amid daily bustle."
Hand-Thrown Jingdezhen/ 景德鎮 Craft
-(1).png?w=826&h=461)
Individually wheel-thrown by master artisans in Jingdezhen / 景德鎮. Each Round-Bellied Tea Cup carries unique weight, silhouette, and subtle handmade character that mass-produced teaware cannot replicate.
Hand-Brushed Lake Green Landscape Glaze Meets Rustic Speckled Body
Hand-brushed mineral glazes build layer upon layer, naturally fusing at peak temperature to form soft lake-mountain gradients with unique surface textures. The speckled raw stoneware body delivers primitive aged charm, its earthy clay perfectly complementing the silky glaze — an ideal match for wabi-sabi tea spaces.
Round-Bellied Form & Grounded Balance
The Round-Bellied silhouette is defined by a gently open rim, a subtle shoulder transition, and a full curved body that reaches its widest point around the upper-middle section before tapering smoothly toward the foot.
Unlike a continuous rounded profile, this cup introduces a more distinct transition between rim, shoulder, and belly, giving the vessel greater visual depth and a fuller, more grounded presence.
A small raised foot ring supports the rounded body and gives the cup a clear sense of balance, while the compact 60 ml capacity keeps each pour measured and intimate.
High-Temperature Durable Firing
Fired through a gradual segmented heating curve with extended high-temperature hold at peak, strengthening the clay body for long-term daily brewing use.
Versatile: Daily Ritual or Thoughtful Gift
Whether serving as everyday guest cups, stocking your minimalist kitchen, or gifting as a set of understated essentials, this Round-Bellied Tea Cup adapts effortlessly to casual solo sessions and refined gatherings alike.

Q: Is this tea cup real handmade Jingdezhen ceramic?
A: Yes. Every tea cup is wheel-thrown and hand-glazed by Jingdezhen artisans — no machine mass production.

A: Microwave is not recommended. Hand wash only with mild soap to protect the glaze texture. Avoid hard abrasive scrubbers.
Q: What teas work best with this tea cup?
A: Its compact 60 ml capacity and rounded form make it suitable for oolong, pu'er, black tea, white tea, green tea, and other teas enjoyed through gongfu brewing.

Important Customer Notice: Unique Hand-Brushed Glaze Marks
Every piece in the Lake Veil collection is individually handcrafted with layered natural mineral glazes and finished through high-temperature kiln firing. Due to the nature of hand brushing, glaze flow, and the interaction between minerals and heat, slight variations in color tone, texture, and surface details are naturally created during the firing process.
Product images are provided as a visual reference only. Each vessel carries its own unique glaze expression, with subtle differences in gradient, texture, and surface character while maintaining the overall design harmony of the collection.
These natural variations are inherent characteristics of handcrafted Jingdezhen ceramics, not production defects. For this reason, returns or exchanges will not be accepted based solely on differences in glaze color, texture, or surface appearance.
These individual marks reflect the beauty of traditional ceramic craftsmanship, where each piece is shaped by both the artisan's hand and the natural transformation of the kiln.
