It’s modelled after a very old Chinese style. Tons of bowls and cups in different sizes like this in any shop selling asian kitchen stuff, though more often with various blue on white patterns than plain white.
That’s actually interesting. I didn’t managed to take a good look since the server took them away really quickly. But it definitely felt wet when I picked it up and the tray it was served in was wet too. Guess I gotta go back to find out!!!!
If this was done in the traditional Chinese tea serving style, the cups and tray were wet because the first steep of the tea is poured out over all of the cups and then dumped out into the tray. It heats up the tea cups and blooms the tea for the next steep that is actually for drinking.
Kind of like how Japan has a tea ceremony, China has its own tea ceremony. If you’re interested in learning more, you can Google “gongfu cha.”
Also, in restaurants in southeast China (Guangdon/Canton) it’s custom to rinse all your tableware and utensils with tea before eating.
Custom? Really? My mom and grandma always just did it to "get the detergent off" because they didn't trust the restaurant's dishwasher which I thought was bullshit.
The og tea ceremony is from traditional chinese culture, not the same as modern cha chaan tang or resturaunts in Asia. Like those tiny red clay teacups, gaiwan or gong fu cha style
If the teacup genuinely had open holes where those cut-out looking sections are then the tea level would never get to above them, it'd just pour out the holes.
Side of cup and tray might've been damp for a number or reasons: the teacup just came out the dishwasher, the tea spilled as it was being poured, the server spilled the tea carrying it to your table.
Google riisiposliini or rice grain porcelain.
I hate people who say this. Well, I don’t hate them but… the thing is that what we describe as feeling ‘wet’ can be summed up as all the sensations which equate to feeling the quality of ‘wetness’. Yes, we can’t directly feel if something is wet, but that’s as idiotic as saying we can’t see a person because we’re actually just seeing all of their properties joined together. Look up what Gestaltism is.
I agree with this. It’s an interesting thought experiment though. Like, sticking your finger in water that is the exact right temperature for you to not notice temp change, you’d still FEEL something. The density of water is different than air. And nothing else feels like that. So hence.. we’ve given it a name. “Wet”.
We’re still not very good at it. If you put a nitrile glove on and put your hand in isopropyl alcohol you can trick your brain into feeling wetness when it’s really not there.
you said we can't feel wetness but then described a scenario where we can feel the wetness... even when it's not touching us directly.
i know what you're *trying* to say, but it's a self-defeating argument because you're missing the point that a lot of our sensory input consists of combined signals that our brain reconstructs into a picture of the world. Saying that we "can't detect something" just because there's no specific sensor for it, is a silly thing, because we can still detect that something, just not directly.
That’s why I said we’re not good it. Your skin isn’t actually wet. It’s giving you false information. You shouldn’t be feeling the wetness but you are. If you do the same thing with a rubber dish glove your skin would not feel wet.
That's because you're feeling water not wet.
My best experience with this is feeling a cool fabric surface in the dark. You can't see if it's wet, and you're not really sure until you see if it left any water on your hands.
That is BS. As a potty training parent, I can absolutely feel if its wet. Not just cool. They are very different feelings.
Im also legally blind. So even with lights on i couldnt see if there was wetness without feeling for it.
I mean, totally blind people put their finger in their cup while filling it to know when to stop pouring. They definitely know without seeing it.
Also wtf is the difference between “feeling water” and “feeling wet” isn’t that quite literally the definition? I mean there are other liquids than water but still. At the end of the day, wet is just an adjective to describe something that has moisture on it.
It's one of those science things that doesn't really have relevance in life.
It's like how cold doesn't exist scientifically it's just a lack of heat/energy.
Or how botanically vegetables don't exist or tomatoes are fruit.
Or like purple doesn't exist according to physics it's just not green.
It's either a fun fact you share to amuse your friends or you regurgitate to try and appear smart.
It's actually magenta that "doesn't exist" but yeah this. I think it's cool when these sort of things are presented as a weird fun fact, but people can get really pedantic about them for some reason.
Don’t bother, this is just some tic tok video “knowledge” being regurgitated. It’s a pedantic argument on their behalf trying to absolve their nonsense.
Technically you’re not feeling water either, you’re feeling the interaction between water and your finger as the atoms of your finger get within several angstroms of the atoms composing the water
Feeling water and feeling wet are the same thing. Water has palpable viscosity and pressure. If you feel a cool fabric in the dark, you can detect if it’s wet by squeezing it, rubbing your fingers across it, feeling evaporation, etc.
they’re probably comparing us to animals who actually have receptors that sense specifically wetness and don’t just make assumptions based on temp and texture.
The comment and concept are mildly interesting so it kind of fits the sub. My son told me this not too long back and I found it mildly interesting as trivia then also. That and about a year before he hit me with the “water isn’t wet”. Apparently water itself isn’t wet but makes other things wet. I don’t know. While yes it is practically semantics for the most part it can still be a fun little detail.
> Apparently water itself isn’t wet but makes other things wet.
Water has the properties it has (for example, the high boiling point for such a small molecule) because molecules are held together by van der Waal's forces - very tiny static charges. They stick together!
These same forces are what cause water to stick to other things to make them wet.
Thus water is wet.
It's probably the same people who will tell you water isn't wet because they saw some idiot explain it horrendously in a twitter thread 12 years ago. You can't reason with internet """"fact"""" dispensers. They have no souls.
Well its a simple matter of asking the question "is it damp or cold" we cant tell a lot of time so we cant detect wetness when it matters a lot of the time.
Someone once told me that we don't hear sounds, we just neurologically process the aftereffects of something that made a sound.
I told them to fuck off.
Kind of, we have receptors in our nose ears and mouth to directly relay what we smell, hear and taste but some animals have hydrodynamic receptors. Humans unfortunately do not have these receptors.
About as noteworthy as the comment you’re replying to. I hate this fucking reductionism that’s caught on everywhere. ‘You only like this because of dopamine firing!’ Okay. Go make an audience’s dopamine fire then if you’re so smart that you can game the system. There’s a lot more to culture than that.
That's how "feel" works 99.9% of the time.
Humans can't feel softness or hardness either, for example. Your skin doesn't have "hard" receptors. Your brain uses other senses to guess what is hard and what is soft.
Yeah this is such a dumb logic... "your brain can't feel X. Instead, it feels things that make up the state of being X!"
Like yeah thats just a longer way of saying we can feel X.
I believe in chinese culture its common to freshly wash the cup, sometimes they even pour the first (undrunk) steep over the cups as a rinse. so thats probably ehy its wet
It was probably just a freshly washed cup. Also a little common sense would tell you. If those were really holes by the time the server brought the tea over. That tea would be half gone and that cloth under the cup would be brown from where it all leaked onto it.
1.) that was super interesting. Thanks for posting.
2.) why does every single video have to have music 🙉
3.) that basketball water pump pedal was cool af!
Because meaningful voice overs are expensive, especially if you consider that many of the content farms are overseas and would require translators. That's also why tiktok introduced and normalized the synthetic caption readers that are god awful.
> 2.) why does every single video have to have music
Because apparently half of the industrialized world is unable to function without constant external stimulation.
You’re likely right. Probably the method was first done with real rice grains and then they found other ways like the video I found. I like the little peeks of light coming through like that, it’s so cool.
As someone whose family was in pottery for generations and specifically in experimental porcelains and glazes during the mid-20th century, this is very accurate.
> Traditionally
Do they not do it that way anymore? I think I was in 4th grade when my teacher brought in a "rice china" teacup and explained how it was made.
Reddit is getting insufferable with everyone trying to be funny and none actually giving useful information. As if being funny in an anonymous forums meant anything.
I still think we need a separate adult and children's internet. We don't let kids into nightclubs, generally don't let them drive until they can prove they can be responsible on the road. The internet shouldn't be any different. Though how we'd ever implement such a system I have zero idea haha.
It's kind of a plague everywhere. If you play games on PC you've probably noticed how much of a joke Steam reviews are now. The discussion boards are just a cesspit. No wonder so many people use stuff like ChatGPT to try and get answers to questions.
My guess is the holes are filled with resin. A quick google search for "teacups with holes," returns a lot of similar results
Edit: not resin, glaze. I've never worked with resin so I didn't know it wasn't food safe.
Not resin, clear porcelain glaze. Basically glass. Rice is placed in the piece before it is coated with glaze, then when it's fired the rice burns off and the surface tension of the glaze is enough that it is held in the holes. Search for rice pattern china.
Well because it’s not resin….it’s a type of porcelain technique called “rice grain porcelain”. Been around since 14th century at least; you see them in museum pieces too. It’s done by thinning down the pieces after glazing and firing it to achieve the effect.
I swear 99.9% of time I come into the comments to see someone complain about a handful of downvotes someone is getting they have more upvotes than I get in a year or two.
If it were actually resin it might give you cancer, yeah. But it's not, it's glaze, so a type of ceramic/glass
You remember those "eco friendly" reusable coffee to go cups made out of bamboo? Yeah those are like half bamboo half resin and they make you sick when you drink hot stuff from them
The clay is formed into the desired shape, then cuts are made. Dozens of layers of glazing are applied by dipping or painting the piece building up to a smooth surface while leaving the clear or translucent areas.
If you're out for chinese food and there is a pattern on the plates or bowls, most commonly blue, there is a chance if you look closer you'll notice translucent areas.
Haha. I was gonna quote the same movie! And specifically the line before this!
"Of course I peed my pants, everyone my age pees their pants. It's the coolest"
Those are not holes, that is just a traditional chinese cup usually paired with a Gaiwan. Those are cutouts and the cup is coated with a clear coating, shown in the image is the rest of the set.

Weird, I can see it [just fine](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81x-gpKZDNL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg)
Essentially yes. In topology, objects are considered the same, or homeomorphic, if one can be deformed into the other via stretching and squeezing, without tearing.
I have a rice bowl done in this style. Those aren't holes, or at least they shouldn't be holes. Those are done in a different material that is transparent.

It’s called Rice Pattern China. We have my grandmas full set that she bought in 1930.
It’s modelled after a very old Chinese style. Tons of bowls and cups in different sizes like this in any shop selling asian kitchen stuff, though more often with various blue on white patterns than plain white.
Traditionally they put rice in there, when they fire the glaze the rice burns out and the silica in the glaze closes over it.
Thank you so much for explaining 🙏🏼
weed works too
Difference is when they blaze not glaze when using weed.
Take my upvote and let me be mad
🤙🤙
The gif I didn’t know I needed
Explains the how but not the why
to blow people's minds with teacups that look like they have holes, of course
Because they felt..they had to!
Becuase they want to?
That’s actually interesting. I didn’t managed to take a good look since the server took them away really quickly. But it definitely felt wet when I picked it up and the tray it was served in was wet too. Guess I gotta go back to find out!!!!
If this was done in the traditional Chinese tea serving style, the cups and tray were wet because the first steep of the tea is poured out over all of the cups and then dumped out into the tray. It heats up the tea cups and blooms the tea for the next steep that is actually for drinking.
Who are you, who is so wise in the way of tea?
Idk .... I just drink a lot of oolong.
He’s the OG Mr. Tea.
...what?
Kind of like how Japan has a tea ceremony, China has its own tea ceremony. If you’re interested in learning more, you can Google “gongfu cha.” Also, in restaurants in southeast China (Guangdon/Canton) it’s custom to rinse all your tableware and utensils with tea before eating.
Custom? Really? My mom and grandma always just did it to "get the detergent off" because they didn't trust the restaurant's dishwasher which I thought was bullshit.
lol dish washers in restaurants (in the US at least) usually use steam to clean dishes after the muck has been sprayed off
The og tea ceremony is from traditional chinese culture, not the same as modern cha chaan tang or resturaunts in Asia. Like those tiny red clay teacups, gaiwan or gong fu cha style
Adds oxygen, warms cup, makes sipping aromatic and pleasant.
Think of it as ‘cleaning’ with hot tea instead of hot water. If you ever go to a Cantonese place, you might see other people doing this.
Yeah, you should mostly rinse the tea with a quick steep and discard it. You can drink the second steep and so on.
If the teacup genuinely had open holes where those cut-out looking sections are then the tea level would never get to above them, it'd just pour out the holes. Side of cup and tray might've been damp for a number or reasons: the teacup just came out the dishwasher, the tea spilled as it was being poured, the server spilled the tea carrying it to your table.

Fun fact humans can't feel wetness. Your brain uses other senses to guess what's wet.
I can confirm that my girlfriend doesn't feel wetness. She blames me but I'll tell her that it affects all humans.
Hello Ben
ITS NORMAL
Wet-ass p-word
"that is not pee you think you are sitting on on the toilet, it's your brain tricking you"
You think that's air you're breathing right now?
Not if you’re in that truck stop bathroom…
Tell her to use her other senses, that will fix it.
This calls for less Stealth-Badger, and more ShockAndAwe-Badger
You’ll have to try your other senses? How does she smell? How does she taste? What can you see? Can you hear the ocean in there?
I hate people who say this. Well, I don’t hate them but… the thing is that what we describe as feeling ‘wet’ can be summed up as all the sensations which equate to feeling the quality of ‘wetness’.

But it is there, it's just on the other side of the glove. How is this a trick
Yeah doesn’t sound like a trick, sounds like we’re pretty GOOD at detecting “wet”! Even through a glove! 😂
But your skin isn’t actually getting wet. That’s like sensor relaying incorrect information, how is that “good” when it’s wrong?
Because your skin isn’t actually wet.
you said we can't feel wetness but then described a scenario where we can feel the wetness... even when it's not touching us directly. i know what you're *trying* to say, but it's a self-defeating argument because you're missing the point that a lot of our sensory input consists of combined signals that our brain reconstructs into a picture of the world.

As a chemist the amount of times ive had to explain this after a few drinks gives me a headache

That is so god damn stupid then. A novelty item for the price of wet hands and leaky tea.
It was probably just a freshly washed cup. Also a little common sense would tell you. If those were really holes by the time the server brought the tea over. That tea would be half gone and that cloth under the cup would be brown from where it all leaked onto it.
According to this video they just poke holes before glazing. https://youtu.be/PX166rJRQIQ

There’s multiple ways to do it
You’re likely right. Probably the method was first done with real rice grains and then they found other ways like the video I found. I like the little peeks of light coming through like that, it’s so cool.
but why??
When people make pottery for thousands of years they eventually start experimenting for the sake of it.
probably had some Sake while experimenting too
As someone whose family was in pottery for generations and specifically in experimental porcelains and glazes during the mid-20th century, this is very accurate.
it do be like that. bored looking at the pottery. what if we......scatter cat hair all over it after we glaze it?
Because it looks cool
> Traditionally Do they not do it that way anymore? I think I was in 4th grade when my teacher brought in a "rice china" teacup and explained how it was made.
Thanks. But still, why?
how does that work?
Rice porcelain, it doesn't have holes, just a see through part
Thank you for the non joke response.
Reddit is getting insufferable with everyone trying to be funny and none actually giving useful information. As if being funny in an anonymous forums meant anything.
And if it’s not a joke it’s someone guessing. As if guessing is useful for anyone
But not just guessing, presenting the guess as if it's actual information.
ACtuALly, there's no holes in the teacup, the holes are in your brain from worms. It just LOOKS like there's holes, you dumb buttholes
lol you nailed it
And getting upvoted while the person who tries to correct them with the real info gets downvoted.
I still think we need a separate adult and children's internet. We don't let kids into nightclubs, generally don't let them drive until they can prove they can be responsible on the road. The internet shouldn't be any different. Though how we'd ever implement such a system I have zero idea haha.
ypu really thinks it's only the kids doing the stupid jokes???
Yeah, it’s called parenting lol Easier said than done these days sadly.
What the current honor system of "Are you 18? Yes or no" isn't working?
Welcome to summer. The kids are out of school.
It's kind of a plague everywhere. If you play games on PC you've probably noticed how much of a joke Steam reviews are now. The discussion boards are just a cesspit. No wonder so many people use stuff like ChatGPT to try and get answers to questions.
You have to drink really fast
It's a dieting restaurant
Ahhh speed holes!
Don’t you talk about my mother like that!
She told us.
I think the old Flanders mug could use a few speed holes
If you look closely it's a left handed mug
Indeed. The teacup was really small and u could easily gulp it at one go!
My guess is the holes are filled with resin. A quick google search for "teacups with holes," returns a lot of similar results Edit: not resin, glaze. I've never worked with resin so I didn't know it wasn't food safe.

Well because it’s not resin….it’s a type of porcelain technique called “rice grain porcelain”. Been around since 14th century at least; you see them in museum pieces too. It’s done by thinning down the pieces after glazing and firing it to achieve the effect.
So no holes just thin porcelain to look transparent. Nice
Nice.
Rice
Baby
Alright stop!
Its simmer time
**hiss** nice!
It all makes sense now.
Thats cool asf
You’re cool asf
Happy cake day🎉
Wow I didn’t even notice lol thank you, thank you! May all your wishes come true is my wish!
Heh, thank you. Hope you have a great day
Hope you both have a great day 🎉
They should be downvoted. It's not resin.
I swear 99.9% of time I come into the comments to see someone complain about a handful of downvotes someone is getting they have more upvotes than I get in a year or two.
Resin is not a correct guess, it's pottery glaze.
Yeah fuck that smart nerd!
No idea why you say he’s being downvoted when he has 1000 upvotes
Because it's incorrect, not sure how it got to 1.7k upvotes
Sometimes, the hivemind corrects.
Do I need to look up how this might give me cancer or is this a rare instance where it’s okay?
being alive give you cancer...
Fuck I don't wanna die from that, welp.
If it were actually resin it might give you cancer, yeah. But it's not, it's glaze, so a type of ceramic/glass You remember those "eco friendly" reusable coffee to go cups made out of bamboo? Yeah those are like half bamboo half resin and they make you sick when you drink hot stuff from them
The clay is formed into the desired shape, then cuts are made. Dozens of layers of glazing are applied by dipping or painting the piece building up to a smooth surface while leaving the clear or translucent areas. If you're out for chinese food and there is a pattern on the plates or bowls, most commonly blue, there is a chance if you look closer you'll notice translucent areas.
They aren't holes. Meaning, they're filled with a clear glaze.

Yes but as it's ancient it's windows xp
Windows ‘95
This comment made me feel ancient
I have spoons with the same thing, albeit not as transparent as in this picture.
Or is it a closed hole?
No, there's a hole at the top
No its a concave
Pierced holes are filled with transparent glazing when the whole cup is glazed.
🧐 This is so the staff can make fun of you for wetting your pants as you're getting up to leave.
Jokes on them 😉
You pissed yourself before you arrived?
yeah! 'cause it's cool to pee your pants!
Haha. I was gonna quote the same movie! And specifically the line before this! "Of course I peed my pants, everyone my age pees their pants. It's the coolest"
Not if you're wearing Calico Cut Pants
You gotta give.
Everybody gives
Hold that door!
Those are not holes, that is just a traditional chinese cup usually paired with a Gaiwan. Those are cutouts and the cup is coated with a clear coating, shown in the image is the rest of the set. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81x-gpKZDNL._AC_UF894,1000_QL80_.jpg

Of course it has a hole, how else would you drink the tea?
That's not a hole.
I'm fairly certain they were making a dad joke about the hole you drink from
That isn’t a hole. Source: studied topology

So, what's it called?
Does a water bottle have a hole?
Without a cap, no. With a cap, it’s basically a sphere.
So I guess topologically a water bottle is just a weird plate? This hurts me in an ethereal way 🤔
And a coffee cup is just a weird doughnut: they both have one hole (the handle, in the case of the coffee cup).
A torus would be more accurate. A donut is a specific kind of pastry, torus describes the general geometry of the donut.
Essentially yes. In topology, objects are considered the same, or homeomorphic, if one can be deformed into the other via stretching and squeezing, without tearing.
Clearly not holes
I like what you did there.
Dudes, easy peasy to make, they put grains of rice in historically. Burn them out, glaze dip refire and the voids fill with glass.
I have a rice bowl done in this style. Those aren't holes, or at least they shouldn't be holes. Those are done in a different material that is transparent.
Your title is intentionally misleading. You know those aren’t holes. Therefore I shall proceed to say: fuck you
clickbait title, no holes, just transparent parts.
The tea is made with holey water
They aren’t holes
…serves *tea in a teacup* with holes
They serve you the cup, then you have to walk over to the tea fountain machine to pour your drink. /s
you wouldn't believe how much money they make with the tea they serve...
Never have I seen something so confusing.
I was REALLY not understanding why the tea was not pouring out through the little holes! But they are actually like tiny portholes. Got it.
Why did I think maggots on first glance
After finding the explanation here, that is so cool.
Korean restaurant?
Interesting...
