Lacquered Small Red Xindan Cup for Gongfucha, 35ml

This cup is shaped from stoneware and finished with a lacquered red exterior that gives the surface a soft matte presence and gentle depth of colour. The interior is left in a light contrasting tone, creating a quiet balance between warmth and restraint.

Its form is subtly fluted, with a softly contoured rim that feels delicate in the hand while adding character to the silhouette. The finish is not glossy or overly polished, but slightly muted and organic — a surface that feels calm, tactile, and considered.

Compact in scale, this piece is designed for gongfu tea sessions and small pours, where the cup becomes part of the rhythm of the experience. It sits comfortably in the hand and brings a refined visual accent to the tea table without overpowering it.
