Cylinder Tea Cups | Set of 2 Cups
Handcrafted | Porcelain | Stoneware Vessels
A study in the stillness of a river bank treasure.
This set of two 6-ounce porcelain tea cups is crafted in the traditional tsutsu-gata shape — a gently cylindrical form prized in Japanese tea ware for its clean vertical lines and balanced hand feel. The silhouette is both modern and ancient: grounded at the base, softly open at the lip, designed to cradle warmth without overwhelming the palm.
Each cup carries a driftwood-inspired finish, echoing sun-bleached timber smoothed by tide and time. Subtle striations, warm neutral tones, and organic surface variation give the porcelain a quiet, coastal presence. No two are identical — each bears the quiet mark of the maker’s hand.
Craft & Material
Hand-formed porcelain
Traditional tsutsu-gata cylindrical profile
Approx. 6 oz capacity (ideal for green, white, oolong, or herbal infusions)
Food safe glaze
Balanced weight with refined lip for a clean sip
The tsutsu-gata form enhances the tea experience by preserving heat while allowing aromatics to rise gently from the opening. Its straight walls create a stable infusion vessel for contemplative sipping.
Design Intention
These cups are made for slow mornings, shared tastings, and quiet ritual. The driftwood aesthetic pairs effortlessly with natural linens, stoneware teapots, and earthen tablescapes. Their minimalism invites the color of the tea itself to become part of the composition.
A tactile expression of craftsmanship — where porcelain meets a river’s memory.
Sold as a set of two.
