Content and size of the cups:
65 ml, top diameter 7,1 cm, height 4 cm

About:
I chose these cups as a pair as they came under my fingers and the idea was born to offer them ‘connected’. Their size is pretty much the same so they are like sisters or twins.

These cups are made with dark celadon glaze. The clay contains a bit of locally sourced kaolin clay which is used for porcelain, the same as used for rye teapots. The green celadon kind glaze created a very stylish cup. On the outside part of the cup glaze are nicely visible thin cracks. The cup surface is very smooth with glass like touch. I would use such cup for black and shu pu-erh teas.
