Handmade Ceramic Japanese Tea Cup
Sold as a single cup. Each option below is one cup, not a set — add the quantity you need to your cart.
Handmade Ceramic Japanese Tea Cup is made for slow drinks — morning coffee, an afternoon tea, or something poured at the end of a long day. The glaze carries small variations that mark it as a made object rather than a mass-produced one. This listing covers ceramic construction and a japanese look.
The walls are thick enough to hold heat without becoming uncomfortable to hold, and the base is fully glazed so it will not scratch a benchtop. It is safe for everyday washing, though hand washing will keep the finish looking newer for longer. The size suits both a short strong coffee and a longer, slower drink. Because the finish is neutral, it mixes easily with what you already own instead of demanding a matching set.
Every Oakmere piece is wrapped individually and checked for chips before dispatch. Stock moves quickly on popular options, so check the variant list before you order. If you are furnishing a whole room, ordering together keeps the finish consistent across pieces. It also makes a straightforward gift for a housewarming or birthday when you want something useful rather than novelty. Colours can shift slightly between screens, so treat product photography as a close guide rather than an exact match.

When will my order arrive?
You'll get an order confirmation straight away, and tracking by email as soon as your parcel leaves us. Delivery time depends on where you are. If you need something by a particular date, message us through our contact page before you order and we'll tell you what's realistic.
Can I return it if it is not right for the room?
Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to return most items for a refund or an exchange, as long as they're unused, in their original packaging and with any tags still attached. Return postage is yours unless the item arrived damaged, faulty, or wasn't what you ordered. We can't accept returns on pieces that have been installed, wired in, assembled or modified, on made to order items, or on gift cards.
What if it arrives damaged or faulty?
Send us a photo through our contact page as soon as it arrives and we'll arrange a replacement or a full refund at no cost to you.
Where do I find materials, dimensions and care details?
Everything specific to this piece, including materials, dimensions, finish and any care notes, is in the product details on this page. As a general rule, dust with a soft dry cloth, avoid harsh cleaners, and keep pieces out of long spells of direct sunlight. If something isn't listed, ask us and we'll confirm before you buy.
Can you help me choose?
Happily. Send a photo of the space and the measurements you're working with through our contact page, and we'll tell you what will fit and what we'd pair it with.
Styled With
Quiet luxury
Rooms that feel considered rather than decorated. Every piece is chosen to sit quietly in a space and let the whole room settle.
Calm at home
Soft light, warm materials and nothing competing for attention. The kind of room you breathe out in at the end of a long day.
A house into a home
Layer it slowly. A lamp here, a vase there, until the space stops feeling new and starts feeling like yours.
