Nankei Pottery・Kodai(Riased Base) Teacups (2set) / Sakura-pink with Kannyu

£29

Delicate beauty of transparent kannyu lines on pale sakura pink

This small yunomi teacup is about 5 cm high and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The bottom of the cup has a ring-shaped base that enhances its appearance. The slight curve that extends from the base to the rim like a blooming flower creates a delicate and gentle atmosphere.

By having the raised base, the teacup is not too casual and can be used comfortably on occasions such as hosting special guests.

The piece is entirely covered with “kannyu,” small cracks created by the difference in shrinkage between the glaze and clay during firing. The beauty of the pale sakura-pink glaze and the transparent lines of the “kannyu” is soothing to the eye.

As the cup is used, the lines of “kannyu” may increase and the pigment of tea seep through. Its texture may change and develop over time, and we hope you will enjoy its beauty of aging.
