Ceramic Cups — Handmade Dragon Scale Silver-Glazed Cup

These are ceramic cups built more like collector’s objects than mugs. The outside is hand-painted in silver over a thousand hand-carved dragon-scale ridges — a cool, industrial, metallic finish that catches the light. The inside is a different world: a mirror-finished black-gold glaze, deep and glossy. Handle-free and 6.4 oz, they’re made for cold brew, a whisky on the rocks, or a craft pour, not a hot morning refill. Fired in Jingdezhen. Half drink ware, half sculpture.

Returns/Exchanges

Because all Jingee’s works are handmade and customized, our policy states that we do not refund purchases to the original form of payment unless the item is defective. If a piece doesn't work for you, we can exchange your items, or give you store credit. 

Product care

All our works are 100% lead-free, non-toxic, and finished with food-safe glazes.

Forged in 1,300°C kilns, your JINGEE vessel is inherently durable. Yet, its handcrafted nature invites mindful preservation. To ensure it lasts a lifetime, we recommend the following:

1、Mindful Cleansing: Though dishwasher and microwave safe, we highly recommend gentle hand washing with mild soap to preserve the unique tactile finish.

2、Temperature Resilience:
Avoid extreme thermal shock. Never move a piece directly from a freezing environment to sudden high heat.

3、Living History: Over time, matte glazes may develop a subtle patina from dark teas or espresso. Embrace these gentle marks—they are not flaws, but the beautiful, unfolding story of your vessel.

Description

Ceramic Cups Made Like Pieces of Metalwork

Most cups are warm and soft. These ones are designed to be both cool and firm - in exactly the right way.

They're ceramic cups, designed and fired to look and feel like etched metalwork. The outside is entirely carved by hand, with over 1,000 precise, dragon-scale ridges, then painted by hand in a silver finish which reads equally sculptural and industrial.

When you move the cup from side to side, the scales glow from matte grey to a gleaming metal in the light.

And then there's what you don't immediately see. On the inside is a black-gold finish in a mirror glaze - intense, deep, lustrous, a perfect contrast with the cool silver of the exterior. Pour anything amber into this ceramic mug and the intense black interior will bring the color to life.

These ceramic cups come from Jingdezhen, the birthplace of Chinese porcelain since the 11th century, and are fired at over 2,370°F. Each scale is hand-carved, and each cup hand-painted with the silver finish. No two are identical, and in addition to that element of unique craftsmanship, the silver plating and mirror-glaze finish make them collectors' items.

They're also made for cold beverages – a cold brew, a spirit for sipping on the rocks, or a tasting glass for beer – not a hot cup for your morning routine. Though when it sits empty on a shelf, it's still a beautiful object; in your hand, it feels substantial and purposeful.

Hand wash with care, and do not put it in the dishwasher or microwave.
