This Japanese teacup stands out with a rhythmic, textured surface that possesses an elegant beauty. The rim exposes the outlines of the red clay, an exquisite balance between the elegance of emerald celadon and the rustic red soil. The base is of brown color and unglazed; once held in your hand, you can enjoy both the glazed smooth surface and the clay texture of rustic brown. The glazed surface is smooth with shallow grooves characteristic of tobikanna (chattered pottery).

The turquoise glare is achieved through the meticulous process of kneading the kiln’s house-blended pigment and seed of celadon into the clay. The celadon seed illuminates into this unique heartwarming blue once cooked in the kiln.

This can be used as a small teacup, especially for green tea. The green color of tea is especially beautiful when put in such cups made of celadon blue. Otherwise, in Japanese cuisine, this cup can be used for your dipping sauce for soba noodles. The sublime beauty of celadon blue suits any auspicious and pleasing dining experience.
