Handcrafted kohiki cup and saucer set, perfect for afternoon tea.

Each piece of Shinmade Pottery is meticulously handcrafted, embodying the essence of true craftsmanship. Our creations eschew extravagant glaze variations, opting instead for layered makeup clay to express emotions and showcase the natural warmth and simplicity of clay. This approach serves as the core of our artistic vision, resulting in pieces characterized by a genuine, unadorned style. The kohiki technique involves applying multiple layers of white slip onto the raw clay body, creating a textured surface. When coated with a transparent glaze, this technique produces a captivating interplay of light and shadow, making our pottery pieces exquisite works of art worthy of collection. Specifications: • Dimensions: Ø7 + 3.5 (handle) x H7.5 cm • Capacity: 230 ml • Material: Handcrafted pottery / Yellow clay + underglaze painting + translucent glaze / Fired at 1230°C • Origin: Taiwan | Reminder | 1. All products are handmade by artisans and are one-of-a-kind. Individual dimensions and glaze distribution may differ slightly from the photos on the website. Please confirm before placing your order. 2. Handcrafted pottery uses natural raw mineral ingredients, which may result in rough surfaces or spots after firing. Glaze firing may produce surface cracks (crazing), air bubbles, uneven surfaces (glaze contraction), color variations, etc., which are normal phenomena in handcrafting and do not affect functionality. Please understand before making a purchase. 3. The glaze on handcrafted pottery may have pores, and pottery itself has water-absorbing properties. To prevent the pottery from absorbing odors or colors, it is recommended to boil new pottery in rice water before initial use, then rinse thoroughly after natural cooling before use. 4. Upon receiving the package, please open and inspect the items within 24 hours. If there is any damage, please notify Shinmade immediately to facilitate confirmation with the logistics and ensure your rights. | Instructions for Use | • Before initial use, please wash with a sponge and mild detergent. Avoid extreme temperature changes during use. • Avoid using electronic appliances such as dishwashers, dryers, and microwaves, as sudden temperature changes may cause discoloration of the glaze or cracking due to vibration. • After using kohiki pottery or similar techniques, do not store directly. After cleaning, place in a well-ventilated area to dry thoroughly to prevent discoloration or odors.
