Product Description
An exquisite ceramic cup handcrafted in the historic kilns of Bizen (Okayama Prefecture), one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns with a tradition spanning over a thousand years. True to the authentic Bizen-yaki style, this cup is completely unglazed; its rich earthy textures, subtle color gradations, and rustic finish are created entirely by the intense heat, ash, and smoke of the wood-fired kiln.
Characterized by its comfortable "deep" profile, this versatile cup is perfect for enjoying hot or cold tea, coffee, water, or even beer—as the micro-textured surface of unglazed Bizen clay is famously known to produce an incredibly thick, creamy foam when pouring beer. Over time and repeated use, the surface will naturally develop a softer, smoother sheen, beautifully "growing" alongside your daily routines.
Handmade Character & Unique Firing Variations
Please note: Bizen ware is celebrated for its complete individuality. Because it is unglazed and wood-fired, each cup experiences different currents of flame within the kiln. As a result, every single piece possesses distinct variations in shape, size, surface texture, and color patterns (such as natural ash deposits or clay markings). No two pieces are alike. The item you receive will be entirely unique and may differ significantly from the photos shown.
Care & Usage Guide
-
Before Use: We recommend rinsing the cup with water before your first use.
-
Microwave, Dishwasher, & Oven: NOT recommended for use in microwaves, dishwashers, or ovens. Sudden temperature changes may crack the natural clay. Hand washing without harsh abrasive pads is highly recommended to preserve the organic surface.
