Technical details
Japanese Porcelain Tea Cup, 380ml
This hand-painted porcelain tea cup holds 380ml, making it a generous size for a proper cup of tea, morning or evening. The nature-inspired design is painted by hand, so each piece carries its own little personality. Porcelain is the material here, which means it's smooth, non-porous, and won't hold onto yesterday's flavors. Check the care instructions before tossing it in the dishwasher, and keep it away from the microwave if the design includes any metallic detail.
The Benefit
A Tea Cup That Makes the Moment Feel Real
There's a difference between drinking tea from a mug you grabbed half-asleep and drinking it from a cup that actually makes you pause. This hand-painted porcelain tea cup does that second thing. The 380ml size is just right, not too dainty, not a bucket. It turns your ordinary tea break into something you actually look forward to, and believe me, that matters more than people admit.
Craft & Materials
Hand-Painted Porcelain, Every Cup Its Own
Porcelain is the right material for tea, full stop. It's smooth, it doesn't absorb odors, and it keeps your brew at a good temperature without burning your hands straight away. The nature design is painted by hand, which means no two cups are perfectly identical. Mind you, that's a feature, not a flaw. A little variation is what separates a real piece from something stamped out by a machine.
Picture This
Morning Light, Hot Tea, This Cup
You fill it up, wrap both hands around it, and just stand there for a minute before the day starts. That's the scene. The 380ml capacity means you're not rushing back for a refill every two minutes, and the hand-painted design gives you something pretty to look at while you wait for the tea to cool just enough. Well now, there are worse ways to start a morning, I'll tell you that.
Daily Use
Practical Enough for Every Single Day
A beautiful cup that you're afraid to use is just a decoration, and that's a waste. This porcelain tea cup is made to be used, morning brew, afternoon herbal steep, evening chamomile, whatever you're pouring. The 380ml size works for a generous single serving, so you're not fussing with tiny amounts. Between you and me, the best test of a cup is whether you reach for it first thing without thinking. This one passes.

FAQ
Your Questions, Answered
How much does this tea cup actually hold?
It holds 380ml, which is a solid, generous serving. Enough for a proper cup of tea without feeling like you're drinking from a soup bowl. Not too big, not too precious and small. Just right for most people's daily tea routine.
Is the design painted by hand on every single cup?
Yes, the nature design is hand-painted, which means each cup has its own slight variations. No two are perfectly identical. That's part of what makes it feel like a real object rather than a mass-produced piece. A little character is a good thing.
What kind of tea works best in a porcelain cup?
Porcelain is wonderfully neutral, it won't add any flavor or hold onto old ones. That makes it a fine choice for delicate teas like green or white tea, but it works just as well for black tea, herbal blends, or whatever you happen to be steeping that day.
Can I put this cup in the dishwasher or microwave?
Check the care label that comes with your cup before you do either. Hand-painted designs can be sensitive to harsh dishwasher cycles, and if the decoration includes any metallic detail, the microwave is a firm no. When in doubt, a gentle hand wash keeps it looking its best for longer.
Is this cup sold with a saucer or as part of a set?
The listing is for one tea cup. No saucer is mentioned in the product description. If you're buying this as a gift or need a matching set, double-check the listing details or reach out before ordering. Better to know ahead of time than to be surprised when the box arrives.

What are your delivery times?
Orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days, and US delivery usually takes 5 to 12 business days. You will receive tracking by email as soon as your order ships.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your order ships, you receive an email with your tracking number and a link to follow the delivery in real time.
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.
