KASAMA - Yaki Porcelain Cup L

KASAMA - Yaki Porcelain Cup L

Its award-winning collection of contemporary design combined with traditional crafts will take you on a journey through century-old Japanese ceramics, while still allowing a well matching combination of styles, bringing timeless design into your home.

Kasama-yaki is made in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture. In the 18th century, it grew soon to one of the bigger potteries producing regions in the Kanto area.

This very unique style will make your tea session stand out. Unlike most other firing methods, the kiln of artisan Masami Taniguchi smokes the cups, which leads to the amazing blueish and rough finish. Each cup is one of a kind because the outcome is unpredictable.

Prime fired porcelain cups are imported from Hasami, and a few layers of a special glaze is applied on them. As his speciality, Masami Taniguchi fires the cups in a kiln that was formally used for roof tiles.
