Linear Carving Japanese Tea Set
Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
Finished in shidei (purple clay) hue with a calm, understated sheen, this Banko ware linear carving teapot and two teacups set comes from a historic pottery region neighboring Tokoname, long regarded as one of Japan’s centers for fine tea ware.
The lid fits the body with a satisfying, seamless precision. It features a built-in ceramic strainer, which gently draws out the tea leaves’ aroma and umami for a smooth, well-rounded cup. Left unglazed, the surface gradually develops a richer sheen through everyday handling, offering the quiet pleasure of seeing the piece grow more beautiful with use.
Each piece is thrown on the potter’s wheel and finished with precise, balanced lines. The surface is decorated using a traditional technique called biri, where the potter carves the clay with a small plane as the wheel turns, creating fine, rhythmic grooves that catch the light.
The set is presented in a high-quality wooden box, finished with hand-brushed calligraphy on the lid. The overall impression is composed and refined, making it a piece that feels at home in a thoughtful interior. It is a set to enjoy yourself, and just as fitting as a considered gift for someone special.
