Teacup hyouga - glacier 240ml

An elegant teacup handmade in the Marui Seito ceramics studio in Shigaraki, Japan. Light-coloured clay covered with a milky white glaze and striking splashes of turquoise and dark brown. The potters at Marui Seito called this composition ‘hyouga’ - glacier. The beautiful design and interesting colours make this cup one of a kind, and the pattern distribution is unique, different on each bowl.

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.
