Stoneware Teacup 150ml

Here is a beautiful wood fired hidasuki teacup. A high firing temperature and the play of flame and natural ash on iron-rich clay has given the surface of this tea cup superlative qualities. The imprint left by plants adds contrast, subtlety and movement to the piece.  The cup, with its thin, delicate lip, is a pleasure to hold and will become an integral part of your tea-drinking experience.

Although fired at high temperatures, vitrified and non-porous, it will take on a patina from tea tannins over time, testifying to its regular use.

Each piece bears the unique imprint that only wood firing can bring, making it a treasured item for any tea lover. The photos shown are of the exact teacup you will receive.
