small tea cups

Tat Yan Soo creates this gorgeous white tea set for you and your guest. Crafted from ceramic, both the teapot and matching cups have a unique square shape. The motifs from Java's traditional kawung batik cover the set with intriguing textures. This is one of Java's oldest popular designs and was once reserved for the royal family. It represents a cross-section of the aren palm fruit, and some say the cross in between the four ovals refers to the universal energy source. Wedang means "drinks" in the Javanese language.

Swirling voluptuous fins, a beautiful white fish swims toward teatime. This teapot reflects the natural imagination of Tat Yan Soo, who crafts ceramics by hand before firing them to stoneware perfection. A crackled glaze accentuates marvelously executed textures, and the teapot features a rattan handle.
