In photoshop you have basically 2 choises: pen tools or shape tools. With shape tools you can make vector shapes, like circle or rectangle. With pen tool you can draw what ever kind of shape you want. Maybe some of thse vector tutorials could help you: [link]

I scale vector shapes with free transform. In shape tools there are options which I can use to make hole in middle of square for example. With path selection tool I can select paths and move them. With direct selection tool I can select one corner of square and delete it to make triangle. For each vector layer I can change color and blending options have many effects for example drop shadow I can put to vector shape. And so on...
I don't change vector layers to normal layers, because I don't need to. I could change vector layers to normal layers, but after that it would be impossible to scale them without losing quality. That is one of the best advantage of vectors, you can scale them without losing quality any time.

Well I tried to make it round and smooth, so it would feel like real tea cup.

There aren't many ways to make tea cup. Atleast this small, so there aren't big changes. My cup is bit bigger, handle is smaller, but plate is same size. All of them are rounder. I took colors from original, so fans of original wouldn't see so big change.

Yes it looks very good. I like your revision, it is close enough to the original to where it would not be a shock to users, and it cleans up alot of the sharp edges ^^
