Chrysanthemum Stamp Teacup with a Sky Blue Accent

Red earthenware clay, allowing you to enjoy its rustic charm, warmth, and coarse texture. Molded into a rounded teacup shape and adorned with a chrysanthemum stamp pattern all over. The glaze used is a lustrous white glaze. A light sky blue glaze is applied to the rim for an accent. The two types of glaze melt together during firing, creating flowing patterns. Perfect for Japanese tea or coffee. Also suitable for a small serving of soup. And as a dish for pudding or jelly. Please enjoy it with your favorite drinks and dishes. The creation process involves preparing the clay, forming, bisque firing, glazing, and final firing, all by hand, using a small electric kiln and a potter's wheel at home. The plump, rounded form, the rough texture, and the slight weight convey the essence of pottery. While mass production is not possible, each piece has its own unique character, and you can enjoy the subtle beauty that comes from handmade craftsmanship. The item you receive will be the same as pictured. The base of the teacup is sanded to minimize scratching your table. We are constantly exploring better combinations of various glazes and clays, creating a diverse range of pottery in various colors and shapes. It's impossible to create exact replicas; these vessels, while appearing similar, are truly one-of-a-kind. We would be delighted if you find a piece that resonates with you. We hope you will enjoy the comforting atmosphere woven by the earthenware clay and glazes as a touch of color in your daily life. ----- *Size and Weight* Diameter: 9.8cm Base diameter: 4.4cm Height: 6.5cm Weight: 206g ----- *Notes on Purchase and Use* - Due to the porous nature of pottery, it may absorb water, and in some cases, colors may seep into crazing or moisture may emerge. Therefore, we apply a waterproofing treatment with a sealant for tableware before shipping, so there is no need for you to perform a preliminary soak (mezoma). This waterproofing treatment requires 2-3 days, which is why we set the shipping period to 5 days from the date of your order. If you do not require the waterproofing treatment, please notify us at the time of purchase. - Cutlery shown in the product images is not included. - Product images are edited and photographed to be as close to the actual product as possible.
