Hin tea cups, set of two
Arrives in 4 to 12 business days Duties and taxes included.
Hin takes its name from an old Hebrew word for a jug, and for a measure of liquid. It is NR Ceramics' collection of tableware drawn in flowing, liquid-like lines, hand-thrown by Nuri Lee in her studio in Bukchon.
The cups carry the same off-round shape as the rest of the collection: asymmetrical curves that overlap rather than repeat, so no two sit quite the same way on a tray. The surface is matte, and the faint iron specks and marks on the unglazed base come from the clay and the firing rather than from wear.
The small holds about 100ml, sized for espresso, a short tea, or a small pour of spirits. The medium holds about 220ml, enough for a full cup of coffee or tea. Each variant ships as a pair of two identical cups, in a gift box.
Stone white, soil beige, and brown are all matte glazes that shift a little in daylight; minor variation in depth, color, and form is characteristic of hand-thrown work.
