Capacity: 50ml Diameter: 5.5cm Height: 4.0cm Material: White Clay & Jun Mineral Glaze Food Safe: Yes Packaging: Premium gift box Echoing the legacy of the Song dynasty’s Five Great Kilns, this cup embodies the essence of Jun ware’s famed kiln alchemy. Fired at 1350°C with glaze rich in copper and iron, it transforms in the flame into deep, luminous shades of imperial purple—a color historically associated with nobility, spirituality, and cosmic harmony in Chinese culture. Shaped in the form of a thumb-ring cup, its compact and ergonomic design fits naturally between the fingers, inviting intimate, mindful sips. The surface, polished smooth by hand, allows the purple glaze to flow like twilight sky, while subtle kiln-transition effects create soft gradients and hidden depths. Unlike painted or printed patterns, the beauty of this cup is born from material and fire—each piece is unique, a captured moment of chemical poetry. Whether used for tea or held as a contemplative object, it carries the whisper of a thousand-year tradition. Show more
