Coffee cup/tea cup, Kusushikushime pottery, Mino ware

Utensils with shining traces of handiwork

A coffee cup with a saucer that allows you to spend a peaceful time. A deep color that reveals the color of the base here and there. The thin lines that look like they have been scraped off and the rust color of the edges are accents. It is a warm pottery created by the handiwork of craftsmen.

Elegant tea time

The size is perfect for when you want to have a little tea. Coffee that is slowly and carefully brewed goes well with it. The great thing about it is that you can put baked goods on the saucer and use it separately from the cup. If you add a coffee spoon to each milk potion and sugar, it will come in handy when you have guests over.

Things you should know before purchasing

What creates the expression of a pottery are spots, scratches, unevenness in the glaze, shading, and bending of the shape that cannot be seen in mass-produced products. The charm of handmade pottery is that it may have pinholes, intrusions, distortions, etc., and is not perfectly arranged, but each one is slightly different in color, size, and shape, and no two are exactly the same. Please enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime encounter as these are the unique characteristics of handmade pottery. 【Individual difference】 The rust color and red lines on the edges vary in density and thickness. [Uneven color/uneven baking] Each painting is carefully done by hand, so the thickness of the lines may not be uniform. During firing, the temperature varies depending on the location of the kiln, resulting in uneven firing. [Other notes] 〇Products that have passed inspection by the pottery and artist are inspected again and delivered to the customer. ■For more information, please see here.
