Crystalline Ice-Glaze Ceramic Gongfu Tea Cup Collection - 70ml / 100ml

A luminous collection of ceramic Gongfu tea cups finished with an ice-crystal kiln-change glaze that creates layered, frost-like patterns across the surface. The collection combines two soft glaze tones—Celadon Green and Ice Blue—with four distinct cup silhouettes, allowing tea drinkers to choose a form that suits both their hand feel and tea-table aesthetic.

Choose Your Cup Form

Straight-Rim Cup — 70ml: a compact rounded profile with a clean upright rim, approximately 6.1cm wide × 4.4cm high.

Bell-Shaped Cup — 70ml: a taller, gently flared silhouette inspired by a small bell, approximately 5.9cm wide × 6.5cm high.

Flower-Rim Cup — 100ml: a broader cup with an elegant outward-flaring rim, approximately 7.9cm wide × 4.9cm high.

Douli Hat Cup — 100ml: a wide, low profile inspired by the traditional Chinese conical bamboo hat, approximately 9.2cm wide × 4.8cm high.

Ice-Crystal Kiln-Change Glaze

The defining feature is the crystalline surface: pale, overlapping mineral-like patterns appear suspended within the glaze, creating visual depth that changes under different light. The Celadon Green version has a cool jade-like character, while Ice Blue introduces a soft blue-white gradient. Natural kiln variation means no two cups will have precisely identical crystal markings.

Designed for Gongfu Tea

The 70ml forms are especially comfortable for concentrated Gongfu tea sessions and repeated small pours. The 100ml Flower-Rim and Douli forms provide a wider opening that makes it easy to appreciate liquor color and aroma. These cups work beautifully with oolong, white tea, green tea, black tea and lightly aged teas.

Chinese Tea-Room Styling

Pair the crystalline glaze with natural wood, dark stone, bamboo, linen or a restrained ink-inspired tea setting. Celadon Green brings a calm jade-like note to a traditional or Neo-Chinese tea table, while Ice Blue works particularly well in lighter contemporary interiors. The sculptural Douli and Flower-Rim forms can also serve as small decorative accents between tea sessions.

Traditional Aesthetic Context

Celadon tones have a long visual association with refined Chinese ceramic culture, while the Douli silhouette references the familiar conical hat seen throughout East Asian rural life and visual art. These references are used here as cultural and design inspiration rather than as claims of historical reproduction.

Gift Presentation

Selected presentation imagery shows the cups styled with traditional-inspired gift boxes. Packaging presentation may vary by selected configuration, while the cup style, color and capacity are defined by the variant name.

Care

Hand wash gently with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive pads, hard impact and sudden extreme temperature changes. Slight differences in glaze flow, crystalline pattern and tone are normal characteristics of kiln-effect ceramics.

FAQ

What is the difference between the four shapes?
The Straight-Rim and Bell-Shaped cups are compact 70ml forms. The Flower-Rim and Douli Hat cups are wider 100ml forms with more open profiles.

Which size is best for Gongfu tea?
Both work well. Choose 70ml for smaller repeated pours or 100ml if you prefer a more generous individual serving.

What is the difference between Celadon Green and Ice Blue?
Celadon Green has a pale jade-green appearance; Ice Blue has a cooler blue-white tone. Both feature the same crystalline kiln-effect character.

Will my cup look exactly like the photograph?
Crystalline and kiln-change glazes naturally vary during firing, so crystal pattern, color transitions and surface character will differ slightly from piece to piece.

Is this suitable as a tea lover gift?
Yes. The distinctive glaze, multiple traditional-inspired forms and compact Gongfu capacities make it a thoughtful choice for tea enthusiasts and Chinese-style home décor lovers.
