Hyouga cup and saucer - glacier 150ml

An elegant cup and saucer handmade in the Marui Seito ceramics studio in Shigaraki, Japan. Light clay glazed with a milky white glaze with striking “splashes” in turquoise and dark brown. The potters at Marui Seito called this composition “hyouga” - glacier. Beautiful design and interesting colors make this set one of a kind, and the pattern distribution is unique, different on each piece.

The perfect set for your morning coffee or tea. The saucer can be used as a cup coaster or a plate for dessert or snacks.

Hechimon refers to unconventional items made by craftsmen in Shigaraki - it is a registered trademark of the Marui Seito studio. Just as nature creates diverse forms and each of us has a unique individuality, so “hechimon” dishes are characterized by diversity and each of them is one of a kind. Potters believe that, more than industrial products, they are thought to resemble agricultural products created by nature. Craftsmen produce clay vessels with dedication and creativity, respecting their uniqueness and giving them exceptional forms.
