Gradient Ceramic Waist Cup (Artisan Designed and Hand Finished)

Thoughtfully designed for slow sipping

The gently pinched waist of this cup offers a natural, secure grip, while the subtly flared rim makes each sip feel smooth and easy. Its taller form helps retain aroma, allowing the scent of coffee or tea to gradually unfold. A glossy interior adds a clean finish and makes rinsing easy.

Perfect for daily coffee and tea drinking while slowly enjoying the aroma.

Each cup is hand spray-glazed with soft, flowing gradients inspired by elements of nature, from early dusk to summer beach.

Meet Jue Huang, a coffee lover turned mug designer

This cup is designed by artisan Jue Huang, a passionate coffee drinker and skilled maker, in Jingdezhen, China, a town known for its ceramic artistry for over a thousand years. 

Instead of sticking to factory-made molds, Jue rethinks what a coffee cup can be. He considers every detail — how it feels in your hand, how the rim guides the sip, how the shape holds aroma, and even how the inner curve helps you pour the perfect latte art.

His mugs are beloved by coffee shops and used in coffee competitions.

Jue also has a sharp eye for color. Each gradient is inspired by nature, such as morning skies, bamboo groves, summer lotuses, and spray-glazed by hand in his studio, making every piece one of a kind.
