I like using a drinking vessel a slightly bigger than the brewing vessel so I can have one brew in the cup and one cooling in the chahai, my usual cup is a short wide one because I drink mostly puer and it cools faster, it has about 80ml useful volume 110ml filed to the top

This cup was produced in Long Quan, a city located in the same province where archaeologists discovered ancient Celadon products. Still nowadays, the most renowned Celadon artefacts comes from Long Quan.

MATERIAL: Celadon stoneware
CAPACITY: 45 ml
DIAMETER: 5.5 cm
HEIGHT: 3.2 ml

The artist is called Ran (冉) It's 140 ml
This large outstanding handcrafted cup is an original design by
a Jingdezhen artist and is produced only in a very limited number.
It is shaped on the potter’s wheel without the aid of a mould.
Hence, every cup is unique due to its slightly varying shape.

The shape is a contemporary reinterpretation of the design
of ancient Chinese cups.
Small metal flakes are set in the clay before firing in the kiln.
This technique creates dark spots in the porcelain that look
like small black stars. The shape and color of the spots
are the result of the artist’s
creativity and thus are unpredictable.

That is a very attractive cup. I would be very nervous about such a tall/narrow base cup in my feline-infested house...but happy to use it elsewhere.
