Frustum Porcelain Tea Cup

Drawing on the same truncated conical shape (known as a "frustum") as other pieces in this line, the Frustum Porcelain Tea Cup is a quiet and stately work of art that will quickly become your go-to vessel for tea. Its unusual white indigo glaze and elegant geometric profile - designed in collaboration with Keita Hanazawa, founder of Mag Design Lab - perfectly complement a satisfyingly coarse texture that calls to mind the line's earthen origins.
