Clairelie, love the picture of the second cup you posted (from artnet). “Pack-Koryo White Tea Bowl C. Koryo Period (11th Century – Korea) White Porcelain, Blue with Green Celadon Glaze”

A slightly more open, wider mouth style of cup of the pictures you have posted are often referred to as a ‘dou li’, a traditional style of hat popular in the countryside. This style of cup, especially with a light glaze a wonderful way to appreciate a tea’s liquor colour.

If you are after hand made cups then ‘we’ have some made by a famous artist in the UKhttps://www.wanlingteahouse.com/article.php/17/ian-gregory-handmade-chinese-tea-cups

Deviating from the thread topic, Tea ware’, Shanghai is not necessary always more expensive than HK. Shanghai is also home to a very large population of Fujianese. If you avoid the tea shop chain stores there are a lot of good tea shops in Shanghai (as well as a lot of bad ones).
