A blooming camellia brings a graceful accent to your tea table with this Japanese blue and white teacup, adorned in Seto sometsuke—the iconic blue-and-white style. The bloom is painted in layered shades of blue with gently blurred petals, an original design made for MUSUBI KILN. At the center, a gold-lined bud adds a vivid point of focus, while two deep blue leaves anchor the design with balance and structure.

The floral design is hand-painted with a thick brush using gosu, a cobalt pigment. This technique allows for subtle gradations of tone, capturing the soft layering of petals and leaves. The interior is finished with a smooth, glossy glaze that contrasts with the matte exterior—reflecting the warmth of the green tea inside and drawing the eye into the cup.

Packaged in a matching box featuring the same camellia motif, it’s a beautiful choice for quiet mornings, shared tea, or thoughtful gifting.
