Each of these rock climbing teacups is a one-of-a-kind piece from a recent kiln opening.
I test and layer glazes in small batches, and this collection captures that process. The glaze shows subtle drips, color breaks at the edges, and combinations that can’t be repeated exactly. No two are the same, and the exact piece you choose is the one you’ll receive.
Every teacup is wheel-thrown and finished by hand in my studio, then fired over 2,000°F for durability. The shape is designed with climbers in mind. These mugs are comfortable to hold, balanced, and made for slow mornings (or post-session tea).

The approximate dimensions are about 4 inches tall with a 3 inch diameter rim. This size holds about 10-12 ounces. The glaze color you choose adds a pop of color. It coats the inside of the mug and the rim. The glaze is shiny and feels like a regular mug on your lips.
The crimp hold is tiny but if your climber has strong hands it feels pretty solid. I would rate it about a 5.8 difficulty, but you'll have to try it and let me know!
