1. Material & Craftsmanship
Rough Ceramic Texture:
Made from natural clay, the cup retains the raw, tactile quality of hand-thrown or mold-formed pottery, with an unpolished surface that showcases its natural grain.
Glaze Options: 
Primarily monochrome or muted tones, some designs featuring hand-painted cobalt blue motifs or embossed patterns for a vintage touch.
Handmade Imprints: 
The rim may have slight irregularities, and the glaze may reveal bubbles or crazing effects, reflecting the artisan’s touch and individuality.
 
2. Design Philosophy
Minimalist Form: 
Typically cylindrical, open-mouthed, or Zen-style (with a slightly tapered rim), the cup is stripped of ornamentation, adhering to the Japanese "Wabi-sabi" principle of impermanent beauty.
Ergonomic Comfort: 
The wall thickness is balanced for a warm, gentle feel, incorporating anti-scald features 
 
3. Zen Aesthetic
Natural Grain: 
The rough surface highlights the clay’s颗粒感 (granular texture) and handmade marks, echoing the Zen notion of embracing imperfection as perfection.
Negative Space: 
Some cups feature unglazed areas on the body or base, revealing the raw clay color and contrasting with the glaze to evoke "emptiness" and "nothingness."
Functional Integration:
Internal filters or grooves in certain designs facilitate tea separation, blending practicality with artistry.
 
4. Usage Scenarios
Tea Ceremony:
Pair with Japanese tea mats, kare-sansui (dry landscape) arrangements, or flower vases to create a serene ambiance.
Daily Tea Ritual:
Complements green tea, oolong, or Pu’er; the ceramic material softens the tea’s flavor, enhancing its complexity.
Gift of Zen: 
Packaged in eco-friendly minimalist boxes, it makes a thoughtful present for tea enthusiasts, embodying Eastern lifestyle aesthetics.
