New ivory porcelain teacup

My latest addition to my selection of teaware: this teacup is just 3 cm high and 7 cm in diameter.
It contains 2 cl only in normal use and weighs 46 grams.

Its small size makes it a good fit for small teapots and several drinkers. I like the simplicity of its lines. And, I like the little opening at the rim. This detail adds a lot of softness to the contact with the lip.

Cette petite coupe possède en effet des lignes magnifiques. Splendide ! J'y verrai bien quelques petites goûtes de gyokuro...
Aussi, je te renvois le compliment, bravo pour cet excellent blog... et pour la qualité des photos qui me font mourir de jalousie !

Pour les photos, tu as plus de chance que moi: tu habites le pays de la photo! Vas t'acheter un bon Canon ou Nikon. Ensuite prends 2 ingredients: de la bonne lumière et l'envie de partager la beauté du thé!

Pour y mettre du Gyokuro, cela serait sympa que tu m'envoies un petit mail...

Stephane,

You are killing me. So many subtle yet beautiful tea cups. It makes deciding that much more challenging.

I enjoy your blog very much, and continue to learn a lot.

Thanks.
