The best "white" imagined by a "white" lover

Due to my job, I have many opportunities to buy things, so I can't bear to let go of them one by one. That's why I don't have much attachment to things, but I've been using the Perrochon cup almost every day since I got it five or six years ago. Maybe it's because I've never before or since come across such a perfect off-white that suits my taste. I love white so much that most of my clothes are white, and the white Perrochon cup is the best I can imagine.

Its slightly grayish, stone-like color has a gentle, soothing quality. I often drink milk tea, so I like the generous size. I'm not too shocked when plates break or other things get damaged, but I would be devastated if this were to disappear.
