Some of the oldest Hagi-yaki pieces have been declared National Treasures of Japan. The natural warm hues of its clay, along with the simple lines of its forms are highly valued within the traditional aesthetics of many tea ceremony schools. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHagi ware is said to improve with age as the tannins in the tea slowly stain the fine cracks in the glaze (called crazing or kan-nyuu), creating a rich texture known as 'nanabake', or 'the 7 transformations'. Because of this slightly porous nature, some people like to dedicate their Hagi ware to one type of tea, such as sencha, to avoid having other aromas seep into the clay.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHouhin teapot:\u003cbr\u003e10.5cm (4.1in) - width\u003cbr\u003e6.3cm (2.5in) - height\u003cbr\u003e150ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatakuchi yuzamashi:\u003cbr\u003e10.5cm (4.1in) - width\u003cbr\u003e1.7cm (2.5in) - height\u003cbr\u003e130ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYunomi teacups:\u003cbr\u003e6.2cm (2.4in) - width\u003cbr\u003e4.2cm (1.6in) - height\u003cbr\u003e40ml - capacity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very good\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Japanese item ships from the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548298207276,"sku":"US-X29","price":248.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/9174\/7116\/files\/download_a47003d9-a23b-4321-b541-02cf23b505ed.jpg?v=1779028895","url":"https:\/\/rak1pm-kn.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-tea-set-hagi-hohin-yuzamashi-and-6-yunomi","provider":"NEBULAPRIMEX ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
