It comes in two sizes. The small set is a 40 ml cup on an 8 cm saucer, the size of a gongfu tasting cup. The large set is a 120 ml cup on a 12 cm saucer, closer to a Japanese teacup or a short flat white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe black glaze is soft and matte, not shiny, and the saucer has a ribbed cream rim that shows the clay underneath. The cup foot is left in the same cream. Against a white table it reads as a small dark shape with a pale cat on it, which is most of the charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe large one is a good size for oolong or black tea brewed in a pot. The small one suits a gongfu session where the pot is refilled often and the cups are emptied in two sips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall set:\u003c\/strong\u003e mini cup 6 cm across, 3.2 cm tall, about 40 ml, with an 8.2 cm saucer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLarge set:\u003c\/strong\u003e cup 8 cm across, 5 cm tall, about 120 ml, with a 12.4 cm saucer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e glazed ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e matte black glaze, cream underglaze cat motif, ribbed cream saucer rim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold:\u003c\/strong\u003e as a set of one cup and one saucer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThis works well for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA single cup of oolong or black tea at your desk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGongfu tasting cups that don't need to match anything else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA present for someone who lives with a black cat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're in Hobart, both sizes are out at our Salamanca Tea Bar.
