Raw 'Ember Steel' Wood Fired Ceramic Tea cup 30ml

Handmade in Jingdezhen from Fanggu clay (仿古泥), this small tea cup is individually wood fired, allowing flame, ash and changes in kiln atmosphere to shape its colour and surface.

The exterior moves from a quiet blue-grey into smoky rust and bronze, with the transition left visibly uneven from the firing. Inside, the kiln has produced much warmer tones — copper, amber and burnt gold gathering toward the base. The contrast gives the cup an almost metallic appearance despite being entirely ceramic.

Its gently flared rim and compact foot keep the shape simple, letting the effects of the wood firing take the foreground. Each cup carries its own variations in colour, ash and texture.

Made for gongfu tea drinking, its small format works especially well alongside a gaiwan or small teapot for oolong, pu’er, black tea and other teas brewed across multiple infusions.

Explore essence of wood-fired ceramics from Jingdezhen with our exclusive 'Raw' collection of handcrafted teaware. The 'Raw' series focuses on the naked firing technique — a traditional method where the ceramics are exposed directly to open flames without any glaze. This unique process means that each piece's exquisite textures are formed naturally by the ash from the firewood, giving every item a distinct natural beauty.

Each teaware piece undergoes high-temperature firing of over 1300 degrees Celsius for three days, ensuring its texture and durability. Crafted from local Jingdezhen kaolin clay, these pieces are not only safe and healthy but also boast excellent breathability after being subjected to such high temperatures.

Every item in this series is more than just a piece of teaware; they are a perfect fusion of handcraftsmanship and natural aesthetics, a prized possession for tea enthusiasts. With each brewing session, you'll appreciate the unique charm and rich historical depth of Jingdezhen's wood-fired ceramics. Made by Youning Studio based in Jingdezhen.
