       @kenSwinson wait what? You mean the teacup? Oh in that case here's more on these1/2I do like these a lot and don't use as much. Picked them up on a trip to Kolkata in idk 2010 or 11. Sister took me to a handicraft store. These are essentially traditional clay tea cup (called bhaar or bhaad) shape - but glazed. The bottom/saucer is also a traditional pot but thin low profile. The red is also quite a Bengali traditional hue (for other things, generally).#Indian #Pottery

       @kenSwinson 2/2These sort of cups (unglazed) used to be quite common as 'disposable' cups (you'd hurl them to the ground next to the tea shop so they'd break and be returned to the earth...)Sadly paper and plastic took over, but you still see these red clay items and cups and pots. Here's a nice article with good info and pics about these tea cups #Tea #Pottery #India #Chaihttps://www.aljazeera.com/gallery/2016/10/26/kolkatas-age-old-tradition-of-bhar-clay-cups-of-tea/
