This is a testing cup, purchased in London about 10 years ago, used for testing tea, such as the color (suishoku) and the way the tea leaves open up. For tea lovers, how about it? The gold is very beautiful, so it's also Instagrammable... It's unused, but it has been displayed in a cabinet. Please refrain from purchasing if you are particular about details. Made in England, so I borrowed the Wedgwood category. I think it's a refined porcelain with subtle gold that matches any tea set. Thank you very much.
