Japanese Handmade KImogashina Teacup - Kohiki

This handmade Japanese teacup boasts a distinctive, artistic design that highlights its craftsmanship. Expertly handmade using a centuries-old technique called "Kohiki," the teacup features a ribbed texture that wraps around the body, resembling natural ridges or waves, and offering a visually appealing and tactile experience.

The surface is adorned with a crackle glaze which creates intricate, random lines and fractures. The Kohiki technique involves applying a white slip over a darker clay body, adding depth and character to the piece and enhancing its weathered, antique appearance.

The blend of ribbed texture, crackle glaze creates a harmonious balance, making each teacup unique. Its organic shape and handcrafted imperfections emphasize its artisanal quality and cultural significance in Japanese tea ceremonies.
