What cups with excellent workmanship, sense of design and worth starting with can be recommended?

We invited four famous "cup collectors" to talk about their obsession with cups. These cups still play the role of drinking water every day, but more have been endowed with very personal feelings, such as partners who can talk to each other, and meeting the beauty of daily use is also companionship.

◆ 1. "Teacup"

Deng Zhu | dancer

Dunzhu studied dance at school since she was a child. After graduation, she left her hometown alone. After several years in the wilderness, she began to realize her impetuous temper and began to consciously do everything that could calm herself down-meditation, meditation, incense burning and tea tasting. I renovated my first house two years ago and lived in a teahouse-like home.

Q: Why do you like collecting teacups?

A: I collect teacups because I like drinking tea, and I have all kinds of tea holders. Different teas will match different cups. The interesting thing about teacups is that the kiln temperature is different from the craftsman's craft, so each cup is different. For different teas, I will choose different cups, different materials, different sizes, different shapes, different colors, the cooling and heat preservation of the cups, whether the cups can gather fragrance, the comfort of lips, the feel, the presentation of tea soup in the cups and so on. Try it slowly, and you will find the cup that suits each kind of tea best.

▲ The number of various teacups collected by Dunzhu has exceeded 40.

Q: Do you have any criteria for choosing a teacup? What kind of teacups do you have to buy?

A: There are basically not many standards. If you like it, you have a vision. If the price can be consumed, you win. But if I come across a cup that won't be mass-produced, I will definitely buy it. Some ceramists, in particular, only make a few pieces, which are different every time. If you don't buy it, you'll never get it again, which is a bit like a girl's obsession with "limited edition" bags.

▲ Different cups are used for different teas. Dunzhu said that this is the "pressure" of drinking tea.

Q: Which one do you like best?

My favorite is Ru Ci at 4500 yuan. This kind of porcelain is difficult to fire, with low output and high surface glaze price, which is very rare. I liked it when I saw it in a friend's shop. Beautiful film, more moist and delicate glaze color, durable and large volume. But at that time, 4500 yuan was my salary for one month, and I made great determination to buy it home. At that time, I wanted to say that money can be earned again, and if you miss the cup, it will be gone. Money just accompanies me in another way.

◆ 2. Nordic Cup

Living alone in Beijing, Poseidon has just turned 30, and enjoys the state of being "neither too old nor too naive". He said that he didn't express his desires too much, and he spent most of his time "tossing" at home, but it was nothing more than the kind of tossing "moving the cabinet here and the sofa there". After some tossing, he will have a little self-satisfaction. Love all basic models, so the cups in the collection are mostly basic models.

Q: Why do you like collecting cups of Nordic brands?

A: A long time ago, I saw a movie called Seagull Canteen, which told the story of a Japanese woman who opened a restaurant in Finland. The theme was food, which warmed her lonely soul. I was deeply attracted by the tableware and cups in the movie. Later, I learned that the cups inside were all from the Finnish brand Iittala, with a long history and exquisite craftsmanship.

▲ Among many brands of Nordic Cup, Poseidon loves littala alone, and this brand has a history of 100 years.

Q: Are there any criteria for choosing cups? What kind of cups do you have to buy?

I like cups with simple style but exquisite workmanship. I think this kind of cup can accompany me for a long time. It is a small object that is used every day. Warm and simple is the most important thing, so you won't buy anything too fancy. At first, I was obsessed with all kinds of ceramic cups, tea cups and coffee cups. I like glasses very much recently. The transparent and shiny texture makes people feel happy. I found that liking this thing will change with time and the state of different periods, so there is no need to buy it.

Q: Which cup do you like best?

A: My favorite cup is my most commonly used white mug, which I also saw when I saw the seagull canteen. What makes it special is that it is "very unusual", very simple and easy to use, and can hold all liquids. I will use it for drinking water, coffee and milk. Although I always give them a task when buying cups, which cup is for drinking and which cup is for entertaining guests, I usually use it most conveniently.

▲ Poseidon's favorite daily mug is also from Litara.

◆ ? 3. "Medieval Afternoon Teacups"

Speaking of administrative work.

Burning is 39 years old this year, but there is a girl who is 18 years old in her heart. I love fitness and cooking, and I like all the energetic life. It is daily to attend the afternoon tea bureau and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the afternoon tea bureau.

Q: Why do you like collecting afternoon cups?

A: The pace of city life is too fast now. As a middle-aged and elderly lady, I have always yearned for a leisurely lifestyle in the European countryside. Once I accidentally saw a photo of English afternoon tea on the Internet. I was shocked. This is the life I want. Later, I found the photographer of that photo and started talking about afternoon tea with him, only to find that there are so many stresses on afternoon tea, and the cups used for afternoon tea can be different every time. There is a unique story behind the teacup every afternoon. Since then, I have fallen into the pit of collecting cups.

▲ Most of the teacups in the Middle Ages were bright and colorful, with complicated patterns.

Q: Are there any criteria for choosing cups? What kind of cups do you have to buy?

A: Many collectors pay great attention to the brand when choosing cups, because it will appreciate, but I don't have this pursuit at present. As long as my appearance is beautiful, my eyes will glow. My cup is antique. In the past, the days passed slowly and people's hearts were quiet. I can slowly embryo and describe it slowly. Therefore, every retro afternoon tea quilt has a handmade temperature and aesthetic feeling, especially some cups have traces and flaws left by some fascinating years. ...

Q: Which cup do you like best?

A: My favorite is a medieval cup with a hand-painted design of wild ducks on it. In the afternoon, the pattern of the teacup is mainly flowers and plants, and there are few animals or people, so it is very special. Moreover, its hand-drawn lines are very clever. I thought this cup was mine when I saw it.

Nowadays, many collectors will display their cups in display cabinets. I don't like this very much. The usage rate of each cup is very high. Every day's weather or my mood will affect my choice of afternoon tea cups, so I won't treat any cups specially. In the final analysis, cups are still daily necessities, so just treat them with a normal heart.

▲ "Hand-painted" is also one of the reasons why the Medieval Cup is attractive, because it is unique.

Q: Why do you like collecting cups?

A: Actually, I don't collect cups. I use them in my daily life. These 65,438+000 cups are just for display. Seven or eight years ago, when my parents and I lived in Guangzhou, we began to buy cups. Later, when I came to Beijing and had my own family, I became even more unscrupulous. Now I'm actually a little restrained. Sometimes appreciation is enough, I don't need to have it. The unit price of the cup I bought is not very high, generally around 100-200 yuan. Usually some food cooperation needs shooting, as well as juice, wine and so on. Everyone needs different cups to match, which is a legitimate reason to buy, and my husband is more supportive. We also picked out a beautiful sideboard to put the cups in.

Q: Are there any criteria for choosing cups? What kind of cups do you have to buy?

A: When I travel, I like to visit the daily necessities store. If these stores also have their own brands and happen to have cups, they will definitely buy them. For example, in Seoul, I bought this favorite MMMG.

Q: Which cup do you like best?

A: The ceramic German Kruger beer cup is my husband's favorite one, and it is also the beginning of our collection of cups together on the trip. He bought it at first sight, and now we both drink the water inside.

Finding MUJI is my favorite branch of MUJI buyers. Products are all good things that designers all over the world are looking for. They are brought back or designed directly. In the words of naoto fukasawa, "There are many excellent daily design objects with a long history in this world. If we give them new definitions and values and let them continue to be used, it will be a sustainable environmental attitude. " And I like it differently at each stage. Recently, I like this rotary alcohol lamp, which is often used for a drink in summer nights.
