Japanese Tea Cup Collection - Drinkware
Featured In Tekuno, San Francisco, CA
Starts at $500
Creation: 4-6 weeks
These tea bowls and cups were inspired by the Japanese Azuchi-Momoyama period which embodies a wabi-sabi aesthetic principle in its shape and appearance.
In order to achieve the presence of weight, black clay which turns almost bronze after firing was used. A light coat of sapphire glaze turns deep blue green and a hint of metallic was applied on the interior to contrast the roughness of the body. The piece was hand built and kept purposefully unpolished leaving the markings of fingers and tools. These tea bowls and cups were commissioned by Tekuno Tea Shop in San Francisco.
