Horseshoe Teacup | Duanni Clay

The Horseshoe Cup takes the horseshoe form as its starting point, steady below and opening gently above, with clean lines and quiet strength.

Duanni clay is pale and refined, carrying the earthy character of the hills. Rather than relying on rich colour, it reveals its beauty through clarity, warmth and simplicity. The cup feels stable in the hand and is suited to daily tea drinking, as well as placement on a tea table alongside teapots, pitchers and incense objects.

The breathable nature of Zisha clay makes it suitable for long-term use. Tea and touch nourish the cup day after day, gradually bringing a soft lustre to its surface. Each time it is lifted, the bond between person and vessel grows a little more familiar.

The Horseshoe Cup seeks no display, yet has its own inner structure. Within a single cup, one can see the plain beauty of Duanni clay and the elegance of daily use.
