Pair of Sangiri Bizen-yaki Teacups - 200ml

This pair of Bizen-yaki yunomi (teacups) was fired in a traditional wood-fueled noborigama (登り窯 - climbing kiln), with the ash and flames producing the rustic texture and organic colours that Bizen-yaki is loved for. The particular effect seen here is called sangiri. 

These cups were designed by 19th-generation potter Mori Toshiaki and made by Hōzan Kiln. They come in a kiribako (桐箱 - paulownia wooden box) signed by the klin.

Due to the organic and random nature of hand-potting and wood-firing, each piece is unique.
