Hi. I've fallen in love with this little teacup and the restaurant won't sell it to me. Can you help me find one just like this?
It had no handle, was perfect to cradle in one hand or two, thanks partly to a single indentation for a finger or thumb on each side, right across from each other. The walls of the cup were thick, and it was a glazed stoneware or ceramic. Could have been about 8 oz., maybe more like 6. The one I used was dark warm gray with a sort of glaze-drip brown rim. The waitress said it was from Korea. Don't know if it was really from there vs. Japan.
I've found two that are very close... especially this one, but this looks like it's apt to have several indents around the sides, not just two. Mine may have been a tad thicker:

This is more of a whole handprint idea:

I'd welcome pointers on where to find one like I described, whether it's another Website or just the best name to call these things. I'm in L.A., where we have a Koreatown and Chinatown too.
