Eureka! Been keeping an eye out for an online source of these as well. Haven't tried these particular cups, but they look the part.

Gorgeous cup. Pity is 88mL (3oz). Anyway, digging deep in eBay I purchased a pair of these:

Not the ideal shape for my liking but it is 31mL (1oz), perfect capacity for my requirements.

be aware that those "ru kiln" cups can be very hot to use.

I totally forgot about that. I hope I can handle the temp because some teas taste way better with tiny cups. I run a test last Saturday about this with my "cha mate" and the same tea (dan cong) tasted better using a 20mL cup as opposed to the gong fu average cups of 50-60mL.

I can't believe I missed this :( Anyway no big loss as they are only $5 bucks each.
