Crane tea cup

Our mini-cup is hand-thrown in small batches by Sarah. 

In Cantonese, 細細 (sai sai) means ‘the little one’. These teacups are the smallest addition to our crane series. Cranes are symbols of longevity and peace, often appearing in art as messengers of good fortune. They were particularly prominent on Korean Celadon wares during the 12th and 13th centuries and in China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, which overlapped. Our cranes have been hand-carved and filled using traditional Korean techniques.

All pieces are designed, hand-built/ thrown, and glazed in our studio. Each piece is unique, so you can expect subtle variations in colour, form and size, including within pieces of the same batch. We find this to be a quiet reminder of the nature of artisan handiwork. 

As this piece contains our signature crackled exterior glaze, our personal preference is to treat it with care (for example, hand wash instead of using a dishwasher).
