Tea Cup by Shibuya Deishi
€32.75
A tea cup from the Hagi kilns of Yamaguchi, made by Shibuya Deishi, who studied under Living National Treasure Kyusetsu Miwa X and became Chairman of the Hagi Traditional Craft Association in 1990.
The cup is wheel-thrown with a gently flared body and a rounded rim. A soft lavender-pink glaze covers the upper half and the interior. Below it, a pale straw-ash glaze pools over the clay in misty blue-grey tones and is scattered with small iron spots. He is best known for his straw ash glazed chawan, which tea enthusiasts prize. The cup rests on a notched, unglazed foot (wari-kōdai) that shows the warm sandy clay.
Not suitable for dishwasher, oven and microwave
