Charming Tableware
This blue-and-white teacup was designed by ceramic artist Shingo Oka. 
This free-spirited and dynamic design recreates the blue-and-white porcelain of "Early Imari," an early style of Arita ware. The slightly muted blue tones and fine iron speckles are also reminiscent of Early Imari. 
Each piece is unique, with variations in line shading and subtle smudges. Enjoy the texture that only hand-drawn artwork can offer.
