Estimated Shipping Widget will be displayed here!
This cup, with its rounded design and smooth, flowing lines, features the stunning orchid cactus, also known as the epiphyllum. Its graceful matte celadon texture conveys tenderness the moment you touch it. The moist and gentle surface finish is truly unique.
The layered pure white petals of the epiphyllum are exquisitely displayed on the cup, with intricate detailing of the stamens. Both the petals and stamens are rendered three-dimensional as if a real orchid cactus is unfolding on the side of the cup, capturing its fleeting beauty. The cup masterfully captures the elusive charm of this flower, which is admired only under the cloak of night.
This cup is not only aesthetically pleasing but also lightweight and highly practical. Its generous size makes it perfect for enjoying green tea or various types of alcohol.

Maker / Brand
Hataman Touen inherits the rich history and techniques of Imari Nabeshima ware, a tradition spanning 370 years, while embracing the spirit of Japanese culture that enriches the heart and soul. They aim to embody Japanese aesthetics in a modern context and share their story and products with the world.
Crafts
Nabeshima ware is a type of porcelain crafted at the meticulously managed Nabeshima domain kiln. This kiln, which operated as a government-run project under the direct supervision of the Saga Nabeshima domain, flourished during the early Edo period (1603–1868 CE).
For approximately 250 years, Nabeshima ware was reserved solely and exclusively for shoguns and feudal lords, with the kilns producing exquisite pieces in styles like iro-Nabeshima (overglaze enamel), ai-Nabeshima (sometsuke), and Nabeshima seiji (celadon). After the feudal system ended, the kilns were privatized, welcoming new potters and giving rise to what is now known as Imari Nabeshima ware.

Celadon
Celadon porcelain originated in China and was introduced to Japan by the 10th century. Among the aristocratic classes at that time, celadon wares from China were regarded as the finest imported goods. They adored its mysterious blue and named it "secret-color."
Production of celadon ware began in the Hizen region, the northwestern part of present Kyushu in the early Edo period (1603 CE - 1868 CE), and the technique was later passed on to Kyoto and nearby areas. In 1957, the craft technology was designated a national intangible cultural asset. Celadon continues to be cherished and crafted by many potters and artisans today.
