A Japanese Bizen ware tea cup, wood-fired and left unglazed to highlight the raw, organic beauty of natural clay. Its clean-lined, modern silhouette fits effortlessly into any home, with a tactile finish that feels smooth and comfortable in the hand.
Bizen ware (Bizen-yaki, 備前焼) is one of Japan's oldest forms of pottery, traditionally from Bizen province in what is now Okayama Prefecture. High-temperature wood firing makes it exceptionally hard, and without glaze the clay takes on earthy, reddish-brown tones and organic markings from the kiln. Handmade by the Mugenan studio in Inbe, Bizen City.
Also see the textured Teacup II and boxed Cups (Set of 2). Pairs well with the Bizen Ware Teapot.
