Stripped of glazes and unnecessary ornamentation, this cup celebrates the raw beauty of Yokkaichi’s iron-rich earth. It is a vessel designed for those who appreciate the tactile connection between the maker, the material, and the drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted entirely from sand coloured clay, this cup is unglazed both inside and out, allowing the living nature of the ceramic to take centre stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the interior is left unglazed, the porous, iron-rich clay interacts directly with your tea. Much like a traditional Kyusu, it naturally absorbs astringency and mellows bitterness, resulting in a smoother, sweeter, and more rounded flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior has a signature matte, natural sand finish that is incredibly smooth to the touch. With its clean, architectural lines and weighted base, this cup feels grounded and substantial. It is the perfect size for a generous serving of Sencha or a contemplative afternoon coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"p-rc_e1ef331dc5761c3f-35\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-34 citation-end-34\"\u003eBanko-yaki clay is renowned for its ability to hold temperature, keeping your beverage warm while the thick walls provide a comfortable, radiating heat for your palms.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColour: Sand clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials: Natural unglazed clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Unglazed exterior, unglazed interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolds approximately \u003cspan class=\"citation-25\"\u003e200ml at full capacity, or 130ml at 70% capacity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-25\"\u003eMeasurements: 7.1 x 7.1cm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-25\"\u003eCare: Microwave safe.

While oil stains may occur more easily than on glazed items, they can typically be removed by applying a small amount of detergent and scrubbing with a brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause these cups are unglazed and crafted from raw, mineral-rich earth, you may notice subtle orange blushes or tiny dark iron spots on the surface. These are not defects, but the natural mineral colours of the clay reacting to the high heat of the kiln. Each piece is a unique record of its firing, carrying the honest fingerprints of the Japanese landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nankei Pottery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58148892442784,"sku":"w023","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0102\/0175\/9810\/files\/Nankei-cylinder-cup-sand.jpg?v=1783403841","url":"https:\/\/www.mujostore.com\/products\/cylinder-cup-sand","provider":"Mujo Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
