The story of this piece
Tibetan Wooden Butter Tea Cup with White Copper Rim
A compact Tibetan-style wooden tea cup designed for butter tea, milk tea, hot water, or display styling. The cup combines warm variegated wood grain with a bright white-copper rim and base detail, giving it the look of a small everyday object from a Himalayan tea table.
Two Styles
- Cup Only: one wooden tea cup with white-copper rim and base detail.
- Cup with Lid: one wooden tea cup with a matching decorative lid.
Craft & Materials
The cup is semi-handmade with a polished wood body and white-copper metal trim. The wood grain, color depth, rim tone, and small finishing marks may vary slightly from piece to piece, which is normal for this style of small-batch tableware.
Tibetan Tea Table Inspiration
In Tibetan daily life and folk tradition, wooden cups are closely associated with butter tea, travel, hospitality, and family tea tables. This piece brings that warm tea-table feeling into a smaller decorative object for daily use or collection.
