About this product

WC3 is a glossy black synthetic-lacquerware teacup trivet with a raised round rim and recessed cup center.

  • Diameter: 4¾ inches
  • Height: ½ inch
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Made in Japan
  • One trivet; teacup not included

Check that the cup’s foot fits the central recess and sits level. Cups and other styling accessories are sold separately.

Product Overview

A glossy black surface and shallow circular profile give this teacup trivet a simple, formal appearance. The gently raised outer rim surrounds a recessed center, creating a defined base beneath a cup without adding a printed pattern. Its dark finish can provide contrast beneath white porcelain or a colorful tea cup.

Made in Japan from synthetic lacquerware, the trivet measures 4¾ inches in diameter and ½ inch high. It is dishwasher safe for regular use and cleanup. Coordinate it with a separately selected teacup, checking the cup base against the recessed center rather than assuming a universal fit. The teacup is sold separately.

WC3 — a shallow glossy black base

A shallow glossy black base

WC3 has a glossy black synthetic-lacquerware surface, a softly raised circular rim and a defined recess for the cup’s foot. Its low form frames a teacup without a printed pattern or a tall stand.

At 4¾ inches in diameter and ½ inch high, it creates a compact individual setting. The outside measurement does not guarantee cup compatibility: check the cup’s underside against the central recess so it sits level and steady.

WC3 — Placing a cup on the black trivet

A base for individual tea service

Use WC3 beneath a separately selected teacup for a simple individual tea setting. The plain black surface contrasts with white porcelain, pale ceramics or floral decoration, while the circular recess gives the cup a defined resting position.

Place the cup gently in the center and lift it separately when serving. The trivet is the item supplied; cups, tea and other table accessories shown in photographs are not included.

Care for the glossy lacquerware finish

WC3 is dishwasher-safe synthetic lacquerware. For gentle hand cleaning, use a soft sponge with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and dry before storing.

Avoid abrasive scouring that can mark the glossy finish. Check the rim and central resting area for damage, and do not assume that dishwasher suitability also makes the trivet suitable for cooking, direct heat or microwave use.
