Yan Hou Tang Water JianZhan Tenmoku Tianmu Royal Sole Chinese Tea Cup 45ml 1.6oz - Blue Indigo Dragon Scales Pattern Handcrafted Crafts Designer Ceremony Grade Glorious Gift

I love love love this but it's on the expensive side but great for gift

I had bought some Tenmokus cups and had been a little disappointed at first because some of the details in some of the cups are very subtle and require just the right light to show them off to full advantage. Then I saw this cup, (the Water version), and noted how it was significantly less expensive than a Tenmokus, so I thought I'd give it a try. Silly me, I didn't take note of the size. When it arrived, I had to laugh. It was tiny! Think saki rather than tea. It is beautiful but not particularly useful. If you're looking for a display piece that doesn't take up a lot of room, this should do nicely, because the one I received really is quite nice to look at. However, if you're looking for something useful, something that fits solidly in your hand, look elsewhere. In the picture, Tenmokus' Nebula is on the left and the Yan Hou Tang Water is on the right, with a U.S. quarter to give you an idea of scale.

It's an absolutly beautiful cup but for decoration or smaller portion sizes.

Its a great cup. It holds liquids. You can then proceed to drink them. Then you start over, pour more liquid in, and then drink it once more. The colors are nice to look at. The silver bits perfectly reflect the color of the tea I drink out of it. My only complaint is that the box it comes in has a fake velvet material that leaves a bunch of little yellow fibers all over the cup. Make sure you wash the cup with boiling water thoroughly before use to avoid drinking the weird little fibers. I originally planned to store the cup in the box while not using it, but I don't want to wash these fibers off every time I use it. Would be nice if they figured out a better material which sheds less for the inside of that box so it can be used in a convenient and practical way instead of just being an overly engineered display piece for the trash dump.

I received this cup in the mail today and the detail is beautiful. I love my herbal teas. I know how these cups are made and am fascinated by the technique. However I was disappointed in the size of the cup because when I drink tea, I think of an actual tea cup sized bowl and not a shot glass.

I purchased as a gift for my daughter. Who drinks hot tea everyday.

Well crafted, but it’s not the color in the picture. It’s more of a muddy brown. I got it to give someone who loves rose gold things and I’m not giving it to her.

I have ordered every version of these beautiful tea cups that I can find ... and if more versions become available, I will buy those too! They're wonderful ... the depth of the colors make them beautifully translucent. It's important to note for prospective buyers - as hand created works of art, there are slight variations in each one so it's best to use the pictures in the listings as examples - yours will look different. Nevertheless, you will be very happy ... they are stunning. I noticed that if I shine my small flashlight into the piece, an explosion of color and light are reflected back. I love 'em ... Thanks.

Not received as advertisedAbsolutely minuteVery expensive for sizeI am not impressed

really smaller than expected

The media could not be loaded.  Dreamy glaze. It’s been a beautiful addition to my collection, thank you.

when i saw these i went to the Tenmoku site. Beautiful. So i ordered one. The ones on the Tenmoku site are not the same size as these. The pictures are somewhat deceptive - whoever is holding the cup is probably a child - very small hands. I must share some of the blame - i did not notice the size as stated. But very deceptive marketing. These are the size a child would use in a tea set. They are pretty though.

This is adorable! I had some black tea in it and it was perfect to have smaller portions and I have to say, good choice. It is smaller than I thought it would be but can’t complain too much! It’s cute
