Round Belly Black Pottery Tea Cup
Handcrafted | Azamgarh Terracotta Art
This handcrafted black pottery tea cup features a rounded belly form designed to sit comfortably in the palm. Its smooth curved body and handle-free silhouette emphasize warmth, balance, and tactile simplicity.
The deep earthy black tone is achieved through the traditional smoke-firing technique practiced in Nizamabad, Azamgarh. Each cup is shaped by hand from natural terracotta clay, preserving subtle tonal variations and surface character unique to artisan craftsmanship.
Compact yet grounded in presence, this round belly cup is ideal for tea, coffee, or mindful drinking rituals in minimalist and rustic settings.
