A pair of thin-walled cups in Dehua porcelain, fired to a warm ivory white. Dehua has produced white porcelain since the Ming dynasty, and the body here is deliberately thin so the tea's colour shows through from the outside.

Dehua in Fujian has made white porcelain since the Ming period, and the material is unusually pure — low in iron, which is what makes it white rather than grey. The European trade called it blanc de chine.
These cups are deliberately thin so that the colour of the tea is visible through the wall. That thinness is also why they should not be stacked and why the rim is the vulnerable part. Sold as a pair; a small pouring lip is cut into one side.
