With the dark, iron-rich clay body and its coating of white slip, the contrasting dark-and-light is a hallmark of buncheong wares. This tea cup by Yeon tae Park has a high foot and curving lip, giving the small form some very delicate and elegant proportions.
Made to be used for serving Gong-fu cha style of Chinese tea, this cup would also work well as a sake cup or a sipper to enjoy whiskey or other spirits.
