This is a beautiful cup/bowl. The size (150ml) is perfect for many of my morning tea sessions using a 130ml to 160ml kyusu for Japanese green teas. The glaze is absolutely lovely. Only one caveat. This is a heavy cup for the size. I have seven other Tenmokus cups ranging from 110ml to 180ml and "Arctic" is far and away the heaviest.
