Start with the Hobnail Detail

Small raised dots cover the exterior of this hobnail cast iron tea cup, creating a repeating texture beneath the smooth rim. The cup opens outwards at the top and narrows towards a defined foot, giving the dotted surface a simple, balanced outline.

The Japanese-style design offers a clear visual direction for tea brands and specialist teaware collections. Its character comes from the cast pattern and cup shape, allowing buyers to develop a coordinated range without relying on printed decoration.

Select Your Size and Colour Combination

With three sizes available, buyers can select a single model or offer a choice within the same design family. Multiple colour options provide further flexibility when planning an assortment around existing teapots or a new collection.

The hobnail motif connects the sizes visually, while the proportions and pattern layout vary by model. Reviewing the selected cups together helps establish the preferred combination before confirming an order.

Offer the Cup on Its Own or with a Teapot

This model can be supplied as an individual cast iron teacup or paired with a teapot for coordinated set sales. Buyers can discuss the preferred teapot model, cup size, colour combination and number of cups per set.

For a matching presentation, select related colours and textures across the pieces. A contrasting cup colour is another option where the collection calls for a more varied appearance. Set contents and packaging arrangements are agreed according to the chosen products.

Develop a Collection Around Your Brand

A custom project can begin with an existing teapot, a colour reference or a proposed set configuration. FORREST can review how this cup fits into that collection and discuss the customisation required.

For example, a buyer may retain the hobnail cup design while requesting a colour that coordinates with a selected teapot and packaging carrying the buyer’s artwork. Requests that change the cup shape or cast decoration require a separate feasibility and tooling review.

For private label tea sets, the agreed sample provides a shared reference for the selected components, appearance and presentation before production.

Send a Brief for Wholesale Sourcing

To discuss wholesale hobnail cast iron tea cups, send your preferred sizes, colours and estimated quantities. If teapots are required, include the intended set composition so the quotation can cover the complete assortment.

Sample availability, MOQ and lead time are confirmed for the selected specification and customisation scope.
