This elegant porcelain Kyusu is finished with a natural ice crystal glaze, where delicate crystalline blooms form across the surface during the kiln firing. Each piece develops its own unique pattern, resembling frost petals or snowflakes spreading across quiet white porcelain.
The subtle texture catches the light beautifully, revealing layers of crystalline growth inside the glaze. Paired with the clean, minimalist shape and integrated leaf filter, it offers both visual serenity and precise control for brewing delicate teas.
Why Kyoto ware?
Kyoto ware, known as Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki, is one of Kyoto and Japan’s leading traditional crafts. Born from Kyoto’s rich cultural history of more than 1,000 years, it reflects generations of Japanese artistry.
Many pieces are completely handmade, celebrated for their refined forms, beautiful colors, delicate hand-painted details, and expressive glazes.
Combining traditional sensibility and techniques with a modern artistic spirit, each piece carries subtle variations from the artisan’s hand—making every Kyoto teaware piece uniquely beautiful.
