Yixing Teacup, Di Cao Qing clay, ~80ml, $28. product#xpcup1

Height is 45mm, and diameter is 70mm. Each cup weighs about 6 oz. It's made by Xu Peng, whose Di Cao Qing teapots and other teapots are available at Life in Teacup. The clay used in the teacup is pretty much the same as that used for the teapots (color tone could be different due to variation of kilns and the shape and thickness of each vessel that respond slightly differently to kiln conditions; texture is generally the same).

The shape mimics a bamboo section and is very nice to grab. It's my favorite size to match with a small teapot so that a sharing pitcher can be omitted in gongfu style drinking.
