THE SANTO ATELIER Butterfly Coffee Cup

Butterfly Series Cups The diagonal lines on the rim are the marks of hand-carving; each stroke's depth carries the artisan's warmth. Combined with the granular texture of the Zisha clay, it feels like stroking old tree bark. Zisha itself is breathable yet not water-permeable. Once glazed, it can be used for coffee, tea, and more. After daily use, a simple rinse with water is sufficient. Over time, it will develop a warm, lustrous patina. Whether for a personal reward during solitary moments or an elegant presentation when hosting guests, these cups bring a sense of ritual to ordinary times, making you feel "thoughtfully cared for." ● Handle with care, avoid bumps: The carved patterns on the rim and the central butterfly relief are handcrafted details; collisions can easily cause damage. Delicate handling during cleaning: ● Rinse immediately, do not use chemical cleaners: After each use, rinse the cup immediately with warm water, paying special attention to the grooves of the butterfly relief and diagonal lines to prevent tea stains or food residue from drying and hardening. Absolutely avoid using chemical cleaners such as dish soap or bleach, as they can damage the natural pore structure of the Zisha and the surface patina. ● Wipe gently with a soft cloth, avoid scratching with hard objects: After washing, gently pat dry with a soft cotton cloth or a dedicated teapot-polishing cloth. Wipe along the direction of the carvings to avoid horizontally scratching the relief details. If stubborn stains are encountered, you can try making a paste of baking soda and a small amount of water, gently rub, and then rinse clean. Attached. *Handmade marks: Each vessel is made by hand on a pottery wheel, glazed by hand, and fired at 1240°C. Therefore, there will be unique variations in the subtle curves of the shape, the sharp lines of the spouts, and the flow and thickness distribution of the matte glaze. Affected by handmade processes and high-temperature kiln firing, the vessels may not be perfectly circular. During high-temperature firing, natural trace elements of iron in the clay may cause small black spots or iron specks to appear on the glaze. The foot of the bowl has been manually wiped to remove glaze, maintaining an unglazed, exposed clay state. The edges of the base have been carefully polished. Slight marks from hand-finishing and a stable, textured feel are normal. Every handmade mark is its unique soul. If you prefer perfectly symmetrical, neat, and flawless industrial products, please consider carefully before ordering.
