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 Yuanrong Tea Cup features a textured clay body layered with hand-brushed lake-green glaze that softly blends and merges during high-temperature firing.
Inspired by the concept of Yuanrong (圆融) — harmony, completeness, and natural balance — its rounded form flows from a wide circular rim through a gently curving belly down to a small stable foot ring. Every line transitions smoothly without sharp angles, creating a calm and harmonious silhouette.
Balanced proportions suit both full-palm cradling and delicate three-finger sipping, while its intimate scale makes it ideal for everyday tea rituals.
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
Individually wheel-thrown by master artisans in Jingdezhen / 景德鎮. Each Yuanrong Tea Cup carries unique weight, silhouette, and balanced grip 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.
Rounded Yuanrong Form & Natural Hold
The Yuanrong silhouette flows in a single continuous curve — a wide circular rim, softly rounded belly, and gently tapering walls converging into a stable foot ring.
The seamless, angle-free form reflects the essence of Yuanrong (圆融): a sense of completeness, harmony, and natural balance. Its smooth double-curved surface naturally follows the shape of the hand, whether gently cradled in the palm or held delicately between three fingers, bringing a quiet sense of grounding and calm to every sip.

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.
