Matte Blanc Gyokuro Teacup WA

A teacup is crafted to express the clay material’s excellence with a sleek silhouette, subtle translucence, and silky feel. Hand-thrown on the potter’s wheel and polished in water, it delivers a luxurious yet robust tea experience. Noted for its rejuvenating azure shade, remarkable thinness, and considerable shrinkage ratio, Hanasaka clay necessitates a high technical skill. Thanks to the natural iron-richness, iconic “iron freckles” and “beauty marks” appear, adding to this cup’s wabi-sabi aesthetic. Each cup is glazed on the inside to prevent it from absorbing each tea’s flavor and maintain its neutrality.
