Owner's Comment

This elegantly crafted teacup features a soothing gradient of warm brown tones.

Slightly larger than a standard teacup, it is well-suited for those who prefer a generous size, making it a great option for men as well.

Delicately thin yet remarkably lightweight, it is designed for a comfortable and effortless drinking experience.
