Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Magic Jianzhan Tea Cup actually handcrafted?
Yes, this cup is handcrafted using traditional Jianzhan techniques. Each piece is shaped by hand from iron-rich clay and fired at high temperatures, so no two cups are exactly alike.
What makes the iridescent rainbow shimmer glaze so special?
The glaze is a natural tenmoku oil-spot finish that develops unique crystal patterns during firing. The color-shifting effect comes from iron oxide crystallizing in the kiln, making every cup one-of-a-kind with a magical rainbow shimmer.
Can I use this cup for drinks other than tea?
Absolutely, this cup is versatile enough for tea, matcha, coffee, sake, or even espresso. Its wide mouth and heat-retaining properties make it suitable for any hot or cold beverage.
Is the cup food-safe and durable for daily use?
Yes, it is high-fired at over 1300 degrees Celsius, making it lead-free and food-safe. The dense ceramic body retains heat well and is durable enough for regular use, though it should not be microwaved.
How should I care for this Jianzhan cup to maintain its beauty?
Hand wash only with mild soap and a soft sponge, and avoid abrasive scrubbers. To enhance the glaze, you can season the cup by steeping tea in it regularly, then let it air dry completely before storing.
Does this cup come in protective packaging for shipping?
Yes, it is shipped in careful, multi-layer packaging with bubble wrap and a sturdy box to protect the fragile ceramic. We ensure it arrives safely even for delicate items like this handcrafted cup.

Beautiful works of art! Stunning! Arrived very quickly and safely in very stylish boxes, ideal for gifting. Very happy with my purchase.
I have admired these beautiful cups since I gave two as gifts to my son and daughter-in-law. I finally got two for myself, and I couldn't be happier with their beauty and artisanship. They feel really good to the hand as well. The pattern shines in a myriad of ways in different lights and looks truly magical.
Sorry for late share, but it was excellent christmas present :) its original and perfect. From HK to Czech republik in 10days. Great. Realy like it and i buy again original.
I love this one! So pretty!
This may be my favorite tenmokus to date. I particularly like the rim, inside and out, so smooth and contrasting with the texture of the magic glaze. Lovely shape as well.
This cup just like all the other cups I have purchased at Tenmokus is beautiful. Great company. The product and the service are excellent.
Absolutely Stunning! I ordered one to see what it would be like in my hand, this is one of the best tea cups I have ever held and I will be ordering more! I was also impressed with how quickly it was delivered. Thank you very much for making a high quality product with much appreciation. I honestly recommend Temnokus if you are a tea enthusiast or a collector of fine pottery.
This is a beautiful cup. It's very lovely to hold and the quality is pretty amazing.
The Tenmokus Magic tea cup is exquisite. The colors of purples, blues/greens, violets and gold flash and glitter, and transform, depending on the light. As its name implies, it is magical. The rounded shape rests cozily in the palms of my hands. It is well balanced in weight and a great pleasure to drink from. The delivery to Colorado was incredibly quick, arriving within a week. The gift boxes they come in are perfect for protecting them and giving the cups as gifts. I've ordered a second Magic, a Dream for drinking sake and wine from, and one each of Deep Ocean and Jellyfish to give as gifts. They are all very well made and breathtakingly beautiful.
Beautiful!
Ordered on Sunday received on Wednesday. It is more beautiful than I expected. I have used it every day since I got it. I love it!
Very beautiful. Came quickly. My son's birthday present. Thank you.
Beautiful tea bowl. I will be getting more!!
Absolutely love these tea cups and I will be back,thank you very much!
My tea cup arrived very quickly and was in a lovely box. I display it when I am not using it because it’s too pretty to hide in a cabinet.
Beautiful pieces
So colourful. I got one for me as well as for a Christmas gift. Speedy shipping, so I got it well in advance of the holidays. Thanks!
Absolutely stunning! Love these cups so much. They are true works of art.
I must say that two of the cups I got are sensational. Magic is as mystical and mesmerizing as its name suggests. I will keep the lovely Magic cup for myself.
Each of these gorgeous teacups has it’s own artful uniqueness. Each cup feels special in your hand, as you enjoy sipping your tea.
This is magic, it's exactly like the photos beautiful and a textual glaze. Love the shape, fits perfectly in my hand. ❤️
I bought Magic and Golden Magic. The same cup only Golden has the gold inside and rim. This glaze has a slight tendency to slump at the bottom and you can see on my cup how there is the ever so slight development of a drip. I love this!!! Such a nice glaze that breaks into a metallic purple at the rim. The cup feels so good in the hand and is a pleasure to use and just to look at.
These cups are so lovely to drink tea from! I ordered this one and 2 Aurora cups. I definitely see myself purchasing more and a coffee cup. Drinks taste better, they are beautiful to look at, and the texture feels nice to hold.
I am in LOVE with these cups!! I purchased two for myself, and I am going to order more for gift-giving throughout the new year and for Christmas, 2022! I only wish I would have seen these sooner, it would have taken the guess out of gifts for family and friends this holiday season! The craftsmanship is unbelievable and I love the shape of them, they fit so nicely in your hand while sipping tea, or they make perfect little bowls for olives, tapenades, or dips. I can't wait to buy more, and you can't beat the price for such quality. They are truly a work of art, each and every one of them!
Incredibly beautiful! The shipping was super fast too! I got it half way around the world in half a week. The quality is amazing too! It's no wonder the site is full of 5 star reviews! I will be looking for reasons to order these for friends for sure!
The teacups were a gift from my husband for my birthday, and I can't believe how beautiful they are. They arrived quickly and safely in gorgeous boxes. I hope to add to my little collection very soon.
1 of the 6 I just purchased.. MAGIC wears her name beautifully! Look at these shades of blues and amazing patterns on the inside 😍 !
As magical as i have read in reviews.
Love this tea cup, it is a great size and holds a good amount of tea, and the colours are amazing!! I may look into buying more of these tea cups!!!
Tea before bed, amazing experience with these works of art! I wish they had a “cup of the month” club! :)
Magical!
Need more of these in my life!
An amazingly irredesant teacup that truly is magic. The frost like patterns brings out the many hues, every color can be seen. A beautiful medium sized cup the fit great in the hand.
A beautiful cup that lives up to the name "Magic". An absolute pleasure to drink from, keeping the tea at the right temperature and not going cold too quickly. I love this cup. Excellent customer service and extremely fast delivery to New Zealand I was expecting it to take longer to arrive.
Another beautiful piece of art for my personal collection! These tea cups are gorgeous. The glaze on this cup mesmerizing. I love this masterful works of art.
I ordered 4 teacups simply because I couldn’t decide on just one. All of them turned out to be stunning in their own way. My favorite, Magic, had the most extraordinary colors but unfortunately for me, my daughter decided it was her favorite too. Ah well, I guess I will just have to order another for myself. Also, the quality of these tea cups and the lovely box they come in make them the perfect gift for any tea lover.
I love my new cup! I've been wanting one forever and it's so cute. And tea is great in it.
All good. Reasonable price, excellent product, speedy delivery.
These are a gift and so pretty
Wonderful
