I bought them 2 years ago in Taiwan, as it turns out; they came in a box and with a little information card that recounts that same legend (but a little wordier) in both english and chinese. In addition, it says the following about the cups' physical properties:<br /><br />"The thickness of the singing cup is almost similar to paper. The shape of the cup must have an angle of 45degrees. The material must use porcelain clay come from mountains and the procedure needs high temperature as 1260degreesC. Because of the complicated procedure, the losing rate is quite high. The singing cup was collected and enjoyed by the people who can discern because of its difficult production and unusual function."<br /><br />Today I googled "singing cup" in hopes that I could find some to purchase (I recently started drinking more tea). Your post was one of the first hits! Sadly, it doesn't seem that singing cups are very popular/available online (on English-language pages, in any case). I only got one hit for an actual retail product. The shape is, strangely, different from our cups (more like a simple inverted cone, rather than curved with just the rims at 45degrees). Most mysterious!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15635395563391178436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-82289328679969050772008-04-15T22:39:00.000+08:002008-04-15T22:39:00.000+08:00Je confirme, ces coupes sont magnifiques, et je re...Je confirme, ces coupes sont magnifiques, et je recommande chaudement de les utiliser avec les gao shan cha.<BR/><BR/>Je suis en train de boire un da yu ling fruity (superbe thé, mais je le dis un peu tard pour que ça soit un scoop!) dans cette tasse en écrivant, et c'est vraiment magnifique. La liqueur tombe en bouche comme si elle était portée par l'air, tant la coupe est fine et légère.<BR/><BR/>Je préfère des contenants plus grands pour les puerhs, mais pour les gao shan ces coupes sont magiques.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-33461050575520064112008-04-04T03:08:00.000+08:002008-04-04T03:08:00.000+08:00Formidable, mon bol chantant tibétain répondra !Formidable, mon bol chantant tibétain répondra !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326672.post-61747090132719076022008-03-31T06:12:00.000+08:002008-03-31T06:12:00.000+08:00these are some very nice tea cups.
