Bizen ware tea cup. Good piece.
Bizen ware is one of Japan’s oldest ceramic traditions, created through high-temperature firing using only clay and fire, without any glaze. Bizen ware is born from a mystical world of fire, where each piece emerges with a unique character shaped by flame, ash, and time.
At the heart of its beauty lies the long wood-fired kiln process, which produces natural surface markings that are never the same twice.
Rather than ornate decoration, Bizen embraces a quiet, understated aesthetic—yet each work is full of presence.
It is also known as one of the most durable types of pottery.
*This cup is slightly thicker and heavier than regular JP tea cup.
