Rock clay flower and fish tea cup, 60ml

This flower and fish cup is a 60 ml stoneware tea cup in a rusty brown clay the Dehua potters call rock clay, with a few small goldfish and blossoms in gold and silver on the outside. It flares out at the rim and stands on a narrow foot ring, which gives it a tall, light look for its size.

Rock clay, lao yan ni in Chinese, is a coarse, mineral-heavy clay that fires to a speckled, slightly rough surface. The fish and flowers are small and spaced out, so the cup reads mostly as plain clay with a detail you notice when you turn it.

It suits darker teas: roasted oolong, black tea and ripe pu-erh all look right in it. 

Product details

  • Capacity: 60 ml
  • Width: about 6 cm at the rim
  • Height: about 5.5 cm
  • Material: rock clay stoneware, high fired
  • Origin: Dehua, Fujian, China

This works well for

  • Roasted oolong, black tea and ripe pu-erh
  • A master cup to keep for yourself at the gongfu table
  • Pairing with the rock clay flower and fish teapot

If you are in Hobart, it is on the shelf at our Salamanca Tea Bar, so you can pick it up and have a look before you decide.

Beautiful and complex!

My absolute favourite tea—so beautiful, with such complex and rich flavours. For the second infusion, I’ve begun to cold brew it over night in the fridge and that brings out a lot of the more floral notes- i highly recommend, to make the most of this tea!!
