FAQ
1. Is this teacup handmade? Are there any differences between each piece?
Yes, every Sui’an pressed-hand teacup is purely handmade by intangible cultural heritage craftsmen. Due to the manual painting process, the dragon pattern, color rendering and details of each piece are slightly different, which means each teacup is a unique collectible.
2. Is this teacup safe for daily use?
Absolutely. The teacup is fired at high temperature, and the glaze and pigment materials meet the FDA food safety standards of the United States. It is non-toxic, odorless, and can be used safely for making tea and daily drinking.
3. How to clean and maintain the over-glaze color teacup?
It is recommended to clean it with warm water and a soft sponge after use, and avoid using steel wool or abrasive cleaners to prevent scratching the glaze. It can be air-dried naturally or wiped with a soft cotton cloth. Do not expose it to extreme temperature differences to prevent cracking.
