Midsummer Night Master Teacup 70ml

The Midsummer Night Master Teacup 70ml is part of the Elemental Teacup Collection, a series of small-batch porcelain vessels designed around balance, heat, and touch. Finished in a deep, atmospheric blue glaze, this master teacup evokes the quiet mystery of a summer evening, bringing calm focus and contemplative beauty to every tea session.

Its dark surface reveals subtle movement and depth beneath changing light, creating a vessel that feels both grounding and quietly captivating. Designed for gongfu tea appreciation and reflective daily rituals, it is particularly suited to slower evenings and moments of stillness.

The Elemental Collection: Balance, Heat & Touch

The Elemental Teacup Collection brings together handcrafted porcelain teacups designed to deepen the connection between tea, vessel, and hand. Each piece is shaped to rest naturally in the palm, allowing temperature, glaze texture, and weight to reveal themselves gradually through use.

As a 70ml master teacup, the Midsummer Night provides a generous tasting experience while maintaining the intimacy and focus central to gongfu tea culture.

The Inspiration: Midsummer Night

The Midsummer Night glaze captures the feeling of twilight settling over the landscape. Deep blue tones and subtle surface variation create an atmosphere reminiscent of warm summer evenings, distant stars, and the quiet glow of lightning bugs drifting through the darkness.

The collection's name was inspired by a conversation with American tea enthusiast Kim Santo (@lil_teapot_78), who described the glaze as carrying a sense of "lightning bug magic." Her observation perfectly captured the feeling embodied by the finish, leading to the official naming of the Midsummer Night collection.

High-Fired Porcelain Craftsmanship

Fired at high temperatures, the porcelain body offers durability, refined tactile qualities, and a neutral surface that allows tea to express its true character. The smooth drinking rim and balanced proportions create a comfortable and satisfying tea experience across repeated infusions.

A Unique Kiln Transformation
Subtle variation in glaze depth, tone, and surface movement is a natural result of the firing process. These differences are embraced as part of the craftsmanship, ensuring every cup remains slightly unique while retaining the character of the Midsummer Night aesthetic.

Designed for Gongfu Tea Appreciation

The 70ml capacity makes this vessel ideal as a master teacup or personal host cup during gongfu tea sessions. Its generous volume allows tea lovers to appreciate aroma, texture, and flavor development while maintaining a close connection to the tea.

Whether paired with a matching Midsummer Night vessel or used independently, this teacup brings depth, calm, and understated elegance to the tea table.
