Set of 5 White Spiraling Hagi-yaki Teacups - 150ml

This set of five Hagi-yaki yunomi (teacups) feature a subtle spiraled shape with gentle rokurome (ろくろ目 - potters' wheel marks) which shows the flow of the potter's fingers as they shaped the piece on the wheel. Atop the deep-red iron-rich mishima (見島) clay, these cups sport a traditional shira-Hagi (白萩 - white Hagi) glaze made from warabai (藁灰 - rice straw ash). Like many Hagi wares, these cups feature the characteristic 'notched foot'.

These cups are a perfect middle size for sencha or other teas. Cups of these size and shape are also called kumidashi (汲出) or senchawan (煎茶碗).

These cups, made by Tsubakihide Kiln (椿秀窯) come in a kiribako (桐箱 - paulownia wood box).
