Rice produces ceramics with a focus on vibrant patterns and craftsmanship. The Merci cup stands 6.5 cm tall and is made from ceramic that retains heat well. The hand-painting technique means no two cups are exactly alike — small differences in brush strokes and color intensity make each cup unique. The cup feels comfortable in the hand and is suitable for coffee, tea, and hot cocoa alike.
Care and Maintenance
The cup is dishwasher safe. Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., placing a cold cup directly into boiling water) as ceramic can crack from thermal shock.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between hand-painted and printed ceramic cups?
Hand-painted cups like the Merci cup show visible brush strokes and subtle color variations, making each cup unique. Printed cups feature identical patterns produced mechanically. Hand-painted ceramics require more craftsmanship time but offer a livelier and more personal expression.
Is the Rice Merci cup microwave safe?
Yes, Rice ceramic cups are generally microwave safe. However, avoid heating an empty cup and be aware that the cup will become hot. Let it cool briefly before handling.
Is the Rice Merci cup a good hostess gift?
Yes, a hand-painted cup is a personal and practical hostess gift. It can be used daily, and Rice’s colorful design suits most kitchens. Pair it with a package of quality tea or coffee for a complete gift.
Why do the colors vary on Rice Merci cups?
Because each cup is painted by hand. The artisan applies color and design with a brush, naturally creating slight differences in intensity and placement. This is part of the craft’s charm — not a flaw.
How much liquid does a 6.5 cm high cup hold?
A cup 6.5 cm tall typically holds 150-200 ml, depending on its width. This corresponds to a standard espresso or tea cup — smaller than a large coffee mug but enough for a serving of coffee or tea.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
