Crafted by Heritage, Defined by Competition.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Produced in our own factory and by contracted artisans. Each piece is entirely handcrafted and distinguished by its modern, coloured transparent glaze.
Premium Materials
CCCLAY porcelain is made from an exclusive blend of premium kaolin sourced from Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangdong, China. The blend is formulated to meet the functional requirements of each cup design.
Designed for Sensory Exploration
Our cup shapes and glazes are developed with input from coffee professionals, with the aim of supporting aroma exploration and a comfortable drinking experience. Sensory responses depend on the beverage, the cup and the individual taster.
