Lidded Cup

Description

Curator’s Notes

I love pieces that are cleverly designed for every aspect of its function – this tea cup has all the parts you need to enjoy a satisfying cup of tea. Its lid keeps liquid hot for a proper steep, and has a little foot to keep moisture off the table when removed. The cup includes two parts – an inner compartment, which acts as a built in strainer and lifts out to leave the outer compartment, which acts as the teacup itself. Simply place tea leaves into the assembled teacup, pour in hot water, replace the lid and steep! You’ll soon be rewarded with a delicious cup of tea.
