How should I clean and maintain this cup?
Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge, then air dry completely. Over time, you can season the cup by steeping tea in it to enhance the glaze's natural luster and develop a patina.

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.
