This is a cup made on a potter's wheel with a beautiful matte silver glaze and a modern design. It has a slightly softened expression, creating a balanced feel that isn't too rigid. It's slightly large for a Chinese tea cup, making it suitable for green tea, cold-brewed tea, or as a small yunomi (Japanese teacup). It can also be used for sake, and the silver glaze gives it a celebratory feel, making it perfect for special occasions. It would also be fitting for New Year's. It's unused and has been stored wrapped in tissue paper with a desiccant. However, the silver part has become slightly darker and has a more subdued color. You might be able to restore the whiteness by gently polishing it with toothpaste, baking soda, or a melamine sponge, but be careful not to rub too hard, as this could cause scratches or peeling. It will be delivered in its current condition. The condition is considered unused, excluding the silver glaze part.
