Gato Mikio is renowned for their gorgeous turned wood work, and this wonderful teacup is a great example. The lacquered finish feels wonderful in the hand, enhancing the beauty of the wood, yet durable for more than a lifetime of use. I had high expectations ordering this, and those have been well met.

Unbelievably beautiful. The craftsmanship is so elegant. So lovely. I’m just happy that this kind of work still exists in such an overly plastic and copy cutter world. I’m giving it to someone I love immensely. They deserve this kind of beauty.

The Gato Mikio tea cup is a very high quality and beautiful product. It is very light, lies well in the hand and looks beautiful. I have only used it for green tea so far. Despite the fact that it is filled with hot water, you can hold it in your hand without any problems – the wood hardly transmits any heat to the outside. In addition, Kototea delivered it very quickly and without any problems. Yuko was always available via e-mail for any questions about the product!
