Some of the oldest Hagi-yaki pieces have been declared National Treasures of Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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. Hagi 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\".\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e6.7cm (2.6in) - width\u003cbr\u003e\n4.5cm (1.8in) - height\u003cbr\u003e\n55ml - capacity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: Good (visible signs of wear)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e-----------------\u003cbr\u003e\nLike what you see?
