Beautiful teacup with a unique character that only wood-firing can create.
Depending on the way the flames strike, the type of firewood, and the nature of the clay, a wide range of colors such as orange, red, black, and brown emerge, creating an unpredictable and profound expression.
This teacup has a slightly metallic finish, with a sheen that appears depending on the angle.
A slightly smaller than regular Japanese tea cup.

Bizen-Yaki (Okayama Prefecture) is created using the Yakishime method of firing unglazed wares at high temperatures.
Using red pine wood in the firing process beautiful natural colors and tones emerge from the clay.
Bizen clay has a high iron content which enables the pottery to retain heat or remain cool.
Bizen -Yaki reflects the Japanese artistic sensibility emphasising inner beauty and subtlety.
