Product Description: The Essential Ceramic Cup
Our Ceramic Cup is more than just a vessel; it is an invitation to slow down. Each piece is individually thrown or molded from premium-grade clay and fired at high temperatures to ensure a dense, durable finish. With a focus on "haptic design," the cup features a balanced weight and an ergonomic silhouette that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, making every sip of coffee, tea, or matcha a moment of pure comfort.
Key Features:
High-Fire Stoneware: Fired at temperatures exceeding $1200°C$ ($2190°F$), resulting in a non-porous, chip-resistant body that excels at heat retention.
Artisanal Glaze: Finished with a signature reactive glaze, creating subtle, one-of-a-kind variations in color and texture—no two cups are identical.
Lead-Free & Food Safe: Our glazes are non-toxic and 100% cadmium and lead-free, ensuring a safe and clean tasting experience.
Refined Minimalism: A lipless, tapered design (or choose your style: classic handle/beaker style) that transitions effortlessly from a modern kitchen to a professional office desk.

Product Care & Maintenance
To preserve the luster of the glaze and the structural integrity of your ceramic cup, please follow these professional care guidelines:
1. Cleaning & Dishwashing
Dishwasher Safe: Our cups are engineered to withstand standard dishwasher cycles. However, to extend the life of the glaze, we recommend placing them on the top rack and avoiding overcrowded loads where clinking may occur.
Hand Washing: For artisanal or gold-rimmed variants, hand washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is preferred to prevent surface abrasion.
2. Microwave & Heat Safety
Microwave Friendly: Perfect for a quick reheat. Note that the ceramic will absorb some heat, so use caution when removing the cup from the microwave.
Avoid Thermal Shock: Do not transfer the cup directly from a freezer to a hot oven or pour boiling water into a chilled cup, as extreme temperature swings can cause the ceramic to "craze" (develop fine cracks).
3. Stain Removal
Tea & Coffee Rings: Ceramic can occasionally develop tannins stains over time. To restore the interior, rub a paste of baking soda and water onto the stain, let it sit for 10 minutes, and rinse clean.
Metal Marking: Some matte glazes may show "gray streaks" from metal spoons. This is not a scratch but a metal deposit; it can easily be removed with a specialized ceramic cleaner or a gentle scouring powder.
