Source · Handleless Cup
€18,00
A drink enjoyed with care, alongside the meal.
A 180 ml handleless cup for water, tea or a small drink beside a plant-based breakfast. Its slightly narrowed profile fits the hand; appreciate the ceramic grain when the wall is comfortable to hold.
The Laolao Hengyan includes the temperature and measure of drinks in care through food. Source serves a little at a time, with the freedom to refill as needed. Alone or alongside a grain bowl, it extends the attention given to what we eat and drink.

Food traditions and this pieceExplore the OrienX Journal
Temperature, quantity and the traditional care of drinking
The Laolao Hengyan considers hot and cold food and drink, and cautions about drinking excessively after extreme thirst. Its traditional intention is to care for how the body receives food and drink, matching temperature and quantity to how one feels. OrienX retains an attention to comfort and personal need: notice the temperature, drink when needed, then refill as wanted. The small format describes a way of serving; daily fluid intake follows each person's needs.
A drink beside a plant-based meal
Oats, unsweetened soya drink and pear can be accompanied by water or tea in the cup. It also has a place alongside a bowl of grains, pulses and vegetables. Allow the drink to reach a comfortable temperature and the cup wall to be comfortable before holding it. Source takes little space at the table; its narrowed profile and matte grain bring attention to the feel in the hand. Alone, an everyday small cup; with Aube, or given to someone you care for, a shared intention that returns with each use.

Size, care and the Journal: useful details before ordering.
Does this tumbler suit a large drink?
Its capacity is 180 ml. Check this size if you usually drink from a large mug, and refill as needed; it is not a recommended daily water intake.
Do I need to be vegetarian to use it?
No. Plant-based food inspires the OrienX world; the tumbler remains open to your drinks and way of life.
How do I care for the unglazed surface?
Clean after use and allow it to dry completely. Avoid sudden temperature changes and consult our care guide for cleaning and appliance recommendations.

Tout petit, comme je voulais
Il est petit, oui, mais c’est justement ce que je cherchais. Pour mon thé après le déjeuner, ça me suffit largement.

J’aime bien
J’aime bien la forme et la couleur. Juste, pour le thé bien chaud, je le laisse un peu posé avant de le prendre. Pas d’anse, forcément.
