Small Teacup and Saucer

I am a Small Teacup and Saucer. The best non-living couple.

Curator's Notes

If only a photo could describe how special these teacups and saucers are. Yes, the shape is perfect so that's worth mentioning but its more about the extraordinary matte glaze that Tetsuya Otani has created. Called a teacup due to its classic English teacup shape but the size is quite small so it'd be more appropriate for Japanese or Chinese teas. I like it the best for a single shot of espresso.
