Gaiwan Mushikui Shinogi

Crafted with elegant mushikui details, this small Gaiwan and matching saucer are ideal for brewing Japanese Gyokuro or Chinese Green Tea. Its delicate walls effectively release heat from the water, resulting in a rich, concentrated flavor that showcases its umami notes. Inspired by the appearance of wood consumed by termites, Mushikui beautifully embodies the Wabi Sabi concept, adding a touch of antiquity and duality to this stunning, inorganic piece.

The artist, Chie Kobayashi, possesses knowledge of Japanese and Chinese tea ceremonies, allowing for a deep understanding of the intricate mechanics of creating a vessel. Despite its bold character, each piece has a remarkable lightness to it. The lip is thin, the shape’s lines are soft, and the hand-carved details are exquisitely evident. This stoic white canvas is rich with intricate details waiting to be discovered. Every use of this vessel will make it one-of-a-kind.
