Crafted with care
Crystals grown in the kiln
This ceramic tea cup undergoes a delicate firing process where crystalline glaze transforms into frozen mineral patterns. No two cups are identical. The glaze blooms naturally as the piece cools, creating those signature mineral stars you see. It's honest craftsmanship, mind you-nothing rushed, nothing mass-produced. When you brew loose leaf tea in proper temperatures, this cup shows off every nuance.

FAQ
Questions about your tea cup
Will my crystalline glaze tea cup be exactly like the photo?
No, and that's the magic. Each cup fires differently in the kiln, so the mineral star patterns are completely unique to yours. You'll receive a one-of-a-kind piece that no one else owns. That's the beauty of this delicate process, believe me.
Is this ceramic tea cup safe for hot tea?
Absolutely. The ceramic and crystalline glaze are designed to handle hot tea safely. The glaze blooms during firing, creating a stable, food-safe surface perfect for tasting and sipping your favorite brews.
How do I care for the crystalline glaze?
Hand wash your cup to preserve the glaze integrity. Avoid the dishwasher. A gentle rinse with warm water and a soft cloth keeps those mineral patterns looking beautiful for years.

How can I track my order?

Which teapot do you recommend for a beginner?
For beginners we often recommend a ceramic or glass teapot: easy to use, easy to clean, and they suit every kind of tea while you find your favorites.
How do I choose the right teapot size?
It depends on your habits. For one person, 10 to 17 oz is ideal. For a couple, aim for 20 to 34 oz, and for families or hosting, 34 oz and up.
Can I use the same teapot for different teas?
You can, but we recommend dedicated teapots for strong teas: unglazed clay and cast iron keep a memory of the tea. Glass, porcelain and stainless steel stay neutral between teas.
