Choosing Your Cup

Will I receive the exact cup shown?

Yes. Each cup is photographed and listed individually. You’ll receive the exact piece shown on its product page.

Are the designs hand-painted?

Yes. Each cup is hand-painted with mineral pigments in Jingdezhen. We don’t use prints or decals.

What if the cup I like is sold out?

Search its design name without the item number to find other versions. Cups in the same series share a design, but their colors, brushwork and textures vary.

Where can I find the size and capacity?

Measurements and capacity are listed on each product page.

 Use & Gifts 

Can I use my cup for everyday tea and coffee?

Yes. Our cups are made for everyday use. Cup and plate samples were lab-tested for lead and cadmium release, and neither was detected.

How should I care for my cup?

Pieces with gold or silver details must be hand washed and kept out of the microwave. Pieces without these details can go in the dishwasher or microwave.

For all pieces, we recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and mild dish soap to preserve the surface sheen that develops with use.

Why does the outside feel textured or look darker when wet?

The mineral texture is an intentional part of the design. Some surfaces look darker when wet and return to their usual color as they dry.

Can I send a cup as a gift?

Every cup comes in its own gift box and can be sent directly to the recipient. For a gift message or other requests, leave an order note or email us—we’ll do our best to help.
