This splendid and paper-light Japanese teacup from Kakusho Kiln is a fine piece of traditional Sometsuke blue and white porcelain. The sunlight filters through the soft, delicate translucence of the teacup’s thin white porcelain. It is elegantly crafted yet durable.

The design features flowers of chrysanthemum and bush clover, which invite a serene and sublime state of mind. You can fit this charming cup in your hand and feel the coolness and thinness of Mikawachi ware. Enjoy the hand-painted flowers in gentle blue shades.

The shades of blue display an exquisite gradation, painted carefully by skilled craftspeople using brushes soaked in cobalt pigment, allowing the dye to flow naturally onto the porcelain. The dye "sinks" into the clay creating a gentle and soft shade of blue. The outlines are drawn swiftly with precision and care using soft and fine brushes along the contours of the flowers and leaves. 

This charming cup can be used for your tea or sake. Your drinking experience will certainly become more refined with this heartwarming fine piece of hand-painted porcelain. You can also adorn it near a window or on a shelf, and observe warm sunlight piercing through its fine porcelain layer.

ABOUT MIKAWACHI WARE

Mikawachi Ware, also known as Hirado Ware, is a pottery made in Sasebo City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan. Known for its translucent white porcelain, it was highly popular in Europe during the trend toward Japanese crafts in the West in the 20th century. Mikawachi Ware is remarkable for its delicate modeling techniques that push the limits of porcelain, such as openwork and relief carving, and for its beautiful painting that looks like a single piece of art.
