{"product_id":"hand-painted-korean-porcelain-tea-cup-morning-glory","title":"Hand-Painted Korean Porcelain Tea Cup - Morning Glory","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis hand-painted Korean porcelain tea cup is thrown remarkably thin, a light and delicate cup that lets the warmth and scent of the tea come gently through the wall. Known as a hyangbae, or aroma cup, its form is made to take in the fragrance of the tea as much as the flavor, a small pause before drinking that draws attention to the scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt suits slow, attentive drinking, the kind of pour you make when you want to sit with a cup rather than rush through it. The fineness of the porcelain is part of the experience, asking you to hold the cup with care and turning an ordinary cup of tea into something more considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThese porcelain tea wares are made in Anseong, Korea by a husband and wife team of ceramic artists. One throws each piece by hand at the wheel while the other paints the intricate images of fruit and flowers, every detail minutely considered so that the utility of the object becomes a pleasure in itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe couple say the feeling of drinking tea shifts with the clay, the glaze, and the thickness of the ware, so each aesthetic choice plays a functional role too. They avoid decoration and density, pursuing fine lines and simplicity, and the porcelain is thrown to the very limits of the material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThey tell a story of a customer who was nervous the first time she used the tea ware, worried she might break it. Instead it made her slow down and focus, handling the cup with care, and that state of attention and calm is what they hope everyone can enjoy when using these objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Each cup is hand-painted, so the design may vary slightly from piece to piece.
