This traditional Japanese Ekohiki teacup features a rounded, bowl-like form, typical of many teacups used in Japanese tea ceremonies. The base is slightly elevated, providing stability and a graceful lift to the cup's profile. The exterior showcases a crackle glaze, a hallmark of Japanese ceramics, adding texture and visual complexity.
The rim is adorned with a dark glaze, creating a striking contrast with the lighter, creamy color of the rest of the cup. Additionally, there are two distinct patterns: a strip pattern along the upper rim and a subtle circular pattern on the side of the teacup, both enhancing the cup’s aesthetic appeal. The base is unglazed, revealing the natural clay and giving the cup a rustic and earthy appearance.
Capacity: 60 ml
Dimensions: 4 inches Diameter x 2 inches H
