Crafted in Tōhō Village using the traditional Takatori-yaki method, this wide, shallow teacup is designed for quiet, intentional tea moments. Its open form makes it ideal for meditative sipping—holding roughly one gaiwan’s worth of tea in a single, spacious pour.
The outside is left unglazed, revealing the natural texture and warmth of the raw clay. In contrast, the interior is finished with a smooth, glossy ivory glaze that highlights the clarity and color of your tea. The balance of matte and gloss, raw and refined, reflects the understated elegance that defines Takatori ware.
Each cup is handmade, with slight variations in form and finish that make every piece unique. Thoughtful and minimal, it’s a teacup that invites focus—on the tea, and on the moment.
