Grey stoneware, olive-green celadon glaze made from locally sourced materials

Height: ~6 cm

Diameter: ~1.5 cm

Capacity: ~100 ml

Wheel-thrown and wood-fired

A traditional Japanese tea-brewing vessel designed for a comfortable grip and easy pouring. Its low, wide shape helps prevent the tea from overheating while allowing the leaves plenty of room to unfurl, making it particularly well suited to brewing green teas.

Subtle blue runs appear in places across the olive-green glaze. This is a natural effect of the interaction between the celadon glaze and wood ash during firing in a wood-fired kiln.
