Shigaraki Ware Black Celadon Tea Cup

Introduce a piece of serene Japanese artistry to your tea ritual with this Handmade Shigaraki Ware Black Celadon Teacup. While Shigaraki is known for its earthy stoneware, this piece showcases a sophisticated take with a celadon glaze applied to a specialized clay body. The deep, captivating glaze, which appears as a subtle, moody blue-grey or dark slate (often referred to as 'Black Celadon'), is perfectly complemented by the cup's distinct hand-thrown ribbed texture. This Yunomi (Japanese style handleless tea cup) sits comfortably in the hand, making your daily tea moment a meditative experience.   Key Features & Design Highlights   Authentic Shigaraki Craftsmanship: Handmade by a master artisan in the Shigaraki region, bringing centuries of Japanese pottery tradition to your home.
