Shukoubei Tea Cup, 140 ml

The name "Shukoubei" ("束口") literally means "tied throat." You'll notice a characteristic slight thickening or groove just below the rim of the cup — not merely a design detail, but a functional feature that makes the cup easier to hold and helps concentrate the tea's aroma.

What makes this cup special

• Pearlescent interior: the inner surface carries a complex crystalline glaze reminiscent of light on glass or the shimmer of mother-of-pearl, softly diffusing light through the tea infusion.
• Rainbow exterior: the outer surface has a lavish shimmer or "rainbow" finish, shifting through the full spectrum — from golden and emerald to deep violet — depending on the light.
• 140 ml capacity: a practical size, somewhat larger than standard ceremony cups, making it ideal for comfortable everyday tea drinking.
• "Tianmu" aesthetic: the finish nods to ancient ceramic traditions of "hare's fur" or "crystalline drop" glazes, reinterpreted in a lighter, more contemporary style.
