Handcrafted Wabi-Sabi Japanese Tea Cup

This one-of-a-kind ceramic tea cup is hand-thrown and high-fired to create its signature natural iron rust glaze, bringing the quiet beauty of Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics to your daily tea ritual. Each cup features totally unique organic glaze patterns, making yours truly irreplaceable.

Distinctive Design & Shape

Shaped as a classic katakuchi haiju (斗笠笠形 / hat-shaped tea cup), this silhouette features a wide flared rim that narrows gently to a small stable foot. This thoughtful design fits comfortably in your hand, lets you easily observe your tea’s beautiful color, and concentrates aroma for a richer tasting experience.

We offer two stunning style variations:

Style A: Soft gradient glaze shifting from pale green and warm tan at the rim, through deep brown, to moody deep indigo-purple at the base, scattered with natural kiln-change spots that look like misty mountain landscapes
Style B: Mottled blue-green and warm bronze patterning that mimics aged iron rust, with a softly weathered, vintage feel that embraces the beauty of imperfection
