Celadon Tasting Cup 1.8oz

This ceramic piece showcases the exceptional qualities of the clay material through its sleek design, subtle translucence, and silky texture. Handcrafted on a potter’s wheel and individually carved, it requires high technical expertise due to its remarkable thinness and considerable shrinkage ratio. The natural iron elements in Hanasaka clay create unique “iron freckles” and “beauty marks” that contribute to the wabi-sabi aesthetic of this cup. Its celadon hue provides the perfect backdrop for the colors of tea, while its elegant shape enhances the appreciation of its aroma. As it absorbs tannins, the cup will gradually change color, creating a one-of-a-kind piece.
