Teacup by Sho Keiichiro 350ml

Teacup by Sho Keiichiro 350ml

Original tea cup handmade by Sho Keiichiro, an artist from Hagi town. Irregular, wavy shapes, relatively large size and impressive cuts in the clay. Characteristic of the Hagi region, the coarse brick-colored clay is covered with a glaze of unique colors. White blurred with delicate reflections of gray and blue, warm pastel finish at the bottom of the cup. A sophisticated work of contemporary Japanese art. It can be a cup for sencha green tea, but will also come in handy for preparing matcha tea.
