Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Aurora beer cup truly handcrafted?
Yes, every Aurora cup is handcrafted using traditional Jianzhan techniques passed down through generations. Skilled artisans shape each piece from iron-rich clay, ensuring no two cups are exactly alike.
What makes the green and violet glaze with aurora shimmer so unique?
The glaze develops natural oil-spot and crystal patterns during high-temperature firing, creating a one-of-a-kind aurora borealis shimmer. The iron in the clay reacts with the glaze to produce these vibrant, unpredictable colors and textures.
Can I use this cup for both hot and cold drinks like espresso or cold brew?
Absolutely. The Aurora is ideal for craft beer, cold brew, sake, cocktails, shots, and even espresso. Its small size and thermal shock resistance make it versatile for both hot and cold beverages.
Is the Aurora cup safe for daily use and food-safe?
Yes, it is high-fired at extreme temperatures, making it durable, lead-free, and completely food-safe. The cup is also resistant to thermal shock, so it can handle sudden temperature changes without cracking.
How should I clean and care for this Jianzhan beer cup?
Hand washing with mild soap and a soft sponge is recommended to preserve the glaze's beauty. While it can withstand temperature changes, avoid abrasive scrubbers to protect the unique crystal patterns.
Is this cup a good gift for a beer or sake lover, and how is it shipped?
Yes, it makes an excellent gift for craft beer enthusiasts, sake lovers, or home bar collectors who appreciate handmade artistry. Each cup is carefully packed in protective materials to ensure safe delivery of this fragile item.

Beautiful Colors 👍!!
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this beautiful cup. I like it so much. I was also surprised by receiving it very quickly.
Beautiful cup, looks similar to the listing. We’re not beer drinkers, and I don’t know if we’ll use it for any other drinks either. I treat my Tenmokus cups more like art pieces and have them on display
Great cup, amazing colors, I like the almost copper/oxidze copper look to it. Strong, doesn't taint the tast of the beverage. Will buy another again.
It was the second order from you, as you can see in the photo. Great quality, great colors. I'm thrilled once again.
Great cup and perfect service
Amazing quality!
This matches a cup and saucer I got from you last year- it’s truly beautiful and usable!
I just love the beautiful colors in Tenmokus products. These cups were bought as a gift, but I am so tempted to keep them myself!
I just had to get this! The coloring is absolutely amazing and is HEAVY. It IS smaller than what I expected for being a "beer" glass, but that's fine. I just love the glazing style on all of these pieces!
The glaze on this cup is beautiful and the cup is very well crafted and sturdy.
These beercups are for my son, his birthday is October 23. He loves these beercups and I bought a pair. Thank you for such beautiful work. These beercups are greatly valued.
I just love it !
Thank you
Very beautiful and very sturdy
Great looking product and adds a lot of joy to our household.
It looks great and the feeling expression is very nice too.
Beautiful!
i saw the video on the making of your beautiful art. i just had to purchase a piece or 3. your cups are works of art. Havent used them yet , but I will shortly. Thank you for enriching my life. G . Barnas
I noticed that one of the beer mugs was smaller than the other three I purchased. My wife and I were a bit disappointed, however, we are very pleased with the look and finish of all four mugs Thanks for asking.
Very nice quality, however, you need to increase the size of the beer glass to at least 12oz. Bigger would be even better.
What a beautiful glass! It is so much prettier in person! Heavier than I thought which is a good thing! Thank you for offering such a beautiful piece!
I bought these cups for my Daughter for a Christmas gift. She already has some and wanted to add to her collection. I inspected them when I received them. They are well packaged in an attractive box. The shipping was incredibly fast. From Hong Kong to Canada was less than a week. Very impressed with the whole experience and will highly recommend.
Everything I order is beautiful.
This cup is just stunning and way prettier than the picture. It's a heavy cup but fits my hand perfectly.
Beautiful glass that I cannot wait to use. Exactly as described and presented in photographs; feels wonderful in the hand.
Absolutely breathtaking! The craftsmanship is to perfection. Highly recommend this company and any of their products. Shipping was fast, gift boxes were so nice. I was floored. Did not expect the quality and fine packaging. Thank you for being so superb in your artistic work. ❤️
Came in good time and well packaged. The color was not quite as vibrant as the original pictures showed, but this is still a very high quality piece of art. Thank you.
I gifted myself this cup last year, and I use it literally every day, although I use it to drink water instead of beer. It fits perfectly in my small hand, has a pleasing texture, somehow keeps my water extra cool, doesn’t flavor it at all, AND it’s BEAUTIFUL!!! I love, love, love it 🥰
It is a Christmas present. It is stunning and I'm sure it will be a very beautiful gift.
Love our cups! :D
Lovely mug for an afternoon libation.
I purchased this cup for my friend's 90th birthday. He will use it for iced tea. He will love it as the Tenmoku cups have a special meaning for him. I also purchased a tea cup for his wife so they can drink their tea together! Also the ordering process and fast shipping to my door and customer service was amazing! I would highly recommend these beautiful works of art!
Now my girlfriend has a drink glass for her cocktails when she visits. This yet another way for her to show off your wonderful products, i.e. Tea and coffee. Way to go coming up with a glass. Thank you!!!
I have several cups from you and have given them as gifts too. I never know what to expect and i am never disappointed. This one is no exception it is solid and beautiful. I love it.
Purchased as a gift.
Speedy delivery, item pristine and very lovely. Thank you.
Wonderful beer cup, the colors are amazing. This was a gift for my son and he absolutely loves it!
Fabulous! I love the colours and I love the weight of the glass. Temokus never disappoints!
Hand-Finished Ceramic Character
Tenmokus teaware is selected for visible glaze variation, hand-finished character, and forms that can work for tea drinking, display, collecting, and gifting. Because kiln effects and glaze movement can vary, each piece may show differences in pattern, color depth, and surface detail.
Jianzhan Tenmoku Glaze Style
Jianzhan Tenmoku teaware is known for dark ceramic surfaces, iron-rich glaze character, and kiln-influenced visual patterns such as spots, streaks, and color depth. Choose a piece by its form, rim shape, capacity, glaze pattern, and whether you want it mainly for daily tea use, display, or gifting.
Gift-Ready Teaware
Tenmokus pieces can work as gifts for tea drinkers, ceramic collectors, housewarming occasions, birthdays, holidays, and personal tea rituals. When choosing a gift, compare the recipient's preferred drink, hand feel, cup size, glaze style, and whether the piece should be practical for daily use or more display-focused.
Use and Care Notes
Use Jianzhan Tenmoku teaware for tea sessions, quiet daily rituals, display, and gifting. Rinse by hand with warm water, avoid abrasive cleaners, and let the piece dry fully before storing. Avoid microwave use, direct stove heat, sudden temperature shock, and any care method not listed on the product page.
