Handmade Ceramic Espresso Cup - Tenmoku Glaze - 3 oz

Handmade Ceramic Espresso Cup with Tenmoku Glaze

This 3 oz ceramic espresso cup features a traditional tenmoku glaze, an iron-rich ceramic finish with origins in ancient Chinese pottery. Each cup is handmade in our Philadelphia studio, making every piece unique with subtle variations in glaze patterns and color depth.

The tenmoku glaze creates a distinctive dark finish that ranges from deep brown to black, with natural variations that occur during the high-temperature firing process. This traditional glazing technique has been prized for centuries in tea and coffee ceremonies for its functional beauty and heat retention properties.

Perfect Size for Espresso

At 3 fluid ounces, this demitasse cup holds a perfect double shot of espresso or your favorite spirit. The compact 2-inch diameter and 2.25-inch height make it ideal for concentrated beverages that benefit from heat retention.

Handcrafted in Philadelphia

Every espresso cup is handmade by artisans in our Philadelphia studio using traditional ceramic techniques. The handcrafted nature means each cup has its own character, with natural variations in the tenmoku glaze creating one-of-a-kind patterns. This is not a flaw—it's what makes handmade ceramics special.
