Bizen-yaki teacup

This is a newly fired Bizen tea cup by Takashi Soga, who challenges the beauty of antiquity by recreating the same environment in which old Bizen ware was fired. It brilliantly reproduces the texture of old Bizen, with a wonderful, unique luster and feel. Its smooth and gentle texture not only approaches the beauty of old Bizen but is also superb from the perspective of functional beauty, providing an exquisite finish that is a pleasure just to hold. Crafted entirely by hand without the use of an electric potter's wheel, the meticulous attention to detail in its form makes it surprisingly lightweight.
